Hi Bigger Pockets family, I am devoting today to driving for dollars!

Be prepared to take A LOT of notes and devote time to studying those notes.  

Also, it's easier to devote the time and money to investing before you have kids.

As a teacher you've got summers off and you could devote a serious amount of time to RE. 

The only regret was not counter suing for the rest of the security deposit that I was entitled to.Unfortunately when things like this come up one must devote a substantial amount of time to prepare and attend the hearing.  

Comfort zone for location (how far from home), for time (How much time per week to devote & when - evenings, weekends, both?).

The difference in rehab costs devoted to this line item in a whole-property budget can run to thousands of dollars. 

How much time do you have to devote to RE investing?

So my question is: is there an optimal strategy to quickly grow my portfolio if I can't, or am not willing to, devote too much time in the renovation and maintenance process?

@Matthew Irish-Jones The biggest 2 reasons aside from capital for me and my wife at the moment are student loans and (if I'm being honest) time devoted to achieving this goal.
