It was such a fun yet informative read, and I feel as though it gave me a pretty good, broad foundation upon which I could begin my REI journey.

Since they can't do each property individually, they use comparables to make broad generalizations to determine percent changes.

That means having a robust array of reports about traffic, maintenance activity, exposure, profit and loss, budgets, forecasts, and an executive summary.Instead of showing units to prospective applicants, you as an investor will look at a traffic report every Monday.

Are you speaking broadly, or specifically in Boulder?

For more broad knowledge on real estate investing you should listen to the BP podcasts & books and use other resources too.

We also believe in investing in broad based, low cost index funds like to total stock market (VTSAK) fund, and dollar cost averaging vs jumping in and out the market when individual stocks dip or rally.Sorry, I know it's more than you asked but I'm never pass up on a chance to introduce folks to the concept of FIRE!

SWAG'ing, lets say you did 1500 sqft units so 6000 sqft with a $200/sqft broad estimate for construction-only (probably too low with covid material pricing and usually for single family), that's $1.2M. 

Very broad parameters.

A broad price range is $450k to $800k right now. 

I concur on eXp, but will add that we have an amazing network of investor agents that you can collaborate with via our Workplace Groups, so there are a vast array of resources available to you online including some training for investor agents.
