We have really high demand for MTRs here in Columbus so that definitely helps - our properties are usually booked by referral before we get them listed. 

 $600 is really not a huge increase in my book.  

I have been listening to the BP podcast and been reading the forum as well as RE books.

Scott’s Book on estimating rehab costs.

@Devin JamesNothing in life is typically handed to you and nothing is typically get rich quickThe most successful people I know show up everyday and grind it out- they don’t let a failure destroy them - they get up and keep going.If you also read all the great business books etc they all say the same thing - be humble, be consistent and have a plan.

there are 3 or 4 companies that sell how to programs normally about 2k to 3k.. this will give you the basics.. or you can try to find a used set of books tapes on E bay for 50 bucks or so.

When someone joins BP with a paid membership, sponsors a podcast, or buys a book, it's clear where the money is flowing. 

I have put better systems in place after reading  Brandon Turners book on managing rental property's, which has given me the confidence to dive into multifamily. 

If it is not set up with systems and people in place to run it you will be mainly selling your book of business.

but it's really, really tough right now as there is limited inventory, tremendous competition for deals, money is expensive, and good contractors are booked up.the equity in your home is an example of very expensive money.
