I am aware of the home buying process from reading but I can imagine its like a bunch of gears working at once.

Hello Avani, I imagine that there is demand here.

In the early years for me, there were nights when I would wake up at 2 in the morning and would obsess about why the one tenant wasn't paying me rent on time.

Maybe it was good for rough numbers, but I can't imagine actually using it to create a final rehab estimate for a project.

so you can imagine how I feel having responded to it myself!

I have worked with agents that needed help filling out the description of the property (example of the bad ones)I'm not an agent but I can only imagine low price properties are MORE time consuming than a luxury home.

I worked with them for about a year.Unfortunately I am not familiar with Brokerspot, connektor and the other platforms mentioned but I'd imagine most platforms are fairly similar to one another.

I can't imagine willingly refinancing to add +4 points to a half a million note. 

And I'd have to spend $10,000 to $20,000 I imagine to buy furniture, kitchenware, beds, dressers, etc.  

But if all your imagination is able to see happening in the next thirty years of real estate investing is that you will pay off your mortgages slowly and steadily, you're already dead in the water.
