I have a realtor and have begun getting MLS listings daily.

Many investors seem to take the approach that a PM is just an unnecessary added expense that they can handle themselves, but I know from experience that a great PM will usually rent your property more often, for more money...not to mention take the daily management grind off the owner's plate...freeing them up to do more deals!  

I've been reading many posts and listening to podcasts daily on BP.

The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod has helped me build some great habits and has helped me to prioritize my business on a daily basis.

Im not so nervous as im always around people daily however i do have some great question i would love to ask someone.

My question is, why would I pay that kind of a valuation for a full-time business that requires a ton of daily work when I can get an apartment for about the same rate without the full-time business headaches?

My wife and I are expecting our first child in February and would love to have some cash flow outside of our daily jobs.

Despite a very good townhome, it was rented out with badly stained carpets, damaged kitchen vinyl flooring and appliances from the 70's..... the roof literally fell on our previous tenants and it was like pulling teeth to get him to pay a DECENT roof repair.I recognize he's pretty lucky to get it rented out at all now, let alone 15% above market value.

I've read 4 real estate books, watched the BP free course videos, listened daily to the BP podcast, etc.  

The best loans are gone within 1-2 minutes of hitting the market so I have 4 daily alarms so I'm ready and buy a few on each offering but this cherry picking has really helped me get decent returns.
