I prefer to do draws daily for work that has been completed.

I’ve read numerous real-estate investing books and habitually read and listen to Bigger Pockets daily.

I've been listening to the BP pod casts for a few months now on a daily basis.

I can see an issue specifically with daily rentals, but how about the monthly (or 3-6 month) rentals?

The US government has is own calculator to compare the daily APOR and the rate you want to charge to a homeowner so that you can stay within, or know what category, you loan is falling under.

Make sure you are actively working towards that goal on a daily basis.

Most of which don't think like investors (In my experience) They will set you up with MLS daily emails based on your preferences. 

On the areas that I focus on, I have subscribed to Google Alerts, which sends daily updates of news stories that feature my areas.

I commute down to NYC daily.

To get there I am working on increasing my income and reducing my daily living expenses.I had a massive personal budget overhaul about a year ago and reduced my expenses as much as I could, all expenses are planned and budgeted and I know exactly how much cashflow I have each month if there are no unexpected expenses.Part of that is I am focusing on flipping/wholesaling property to build more capital and then use it to buy more rentals as well and focusing on increasing my J.O.B. income until I can do REI full time.I think either route can work, buying only rentals may be a little slower at first but if the equity and cash flow are managed well it can increase more and more.
