I'd say each property on average has at least 2 bookings a week ( more during the on season) so that's about 34 hours a week average.

We signed P&S agreements on 6 different properties totaling 20 units approximately 8 months ago and received a call today that the price we thought we were buying at has to-be increased on average 13% due to the increased cost of construction.

Real estate investing is forgiving; the average person can still make money even with some big mistakes.

If you really hustle and are smarter than the average bear, you may make enough money that you can buy an investment property.

@Danielle Levy a lot of questions regarding your accusations:1) What are the average Days On Market (DOM) for rentals in this "hot" market?

I average about $2000 a month in cashflow on the current rental property, and the new property would bring in around $3500 in gross revenue.

But you can't do that without investors assuming your average guy/gal and I don't think I'm cutout for that and that is a lot more hands on. 

Previously though most of the MTRs stayed 3-6 months, so we've averaged about 3 turns per year, with about 1 week between tenants. 

The average company only survives for ten years, while even large companies typically last just 18 years.

(The people running 500+ units or $100m syndications when the average BP listener (I assume) has 1-10 units and is worth $1-5M.).
