These are not goals, because without the numbers, they can not be measured. 

With the price of plywood, I will keep to my stud-finders every time.If you do measurements before you begin the instalation, you can pre-mark where the studs are, and where you will need wall anchors or interior blocking.

Because both of those are affected by different metrics which you need to essentially measure each one individually before you can really come up with a good decision. 

The saturation does give me concern, as it will be hard to make sure the property stands out from others when it is so far away from home without significant time and effort to keep up on theming, not to mention that you are at the mercy of your management company for some of the placement.With respect to rates, I have no delusions that the rates will come down, the refi is more a protectionary measure to make sure that we do not end up upside down on a mortgage if we just pick an arbitrary number and say, put 40% down on the property at 8%.

I have a mailing list of over 3000 recipients and are aiming for a personal touch with letters that appear handwritten and are signed in ink.

WHen the inspector showed up for framing inspections, I was expecting him to measure my spans and cantilevers and make sure all my connections were solid.

I have a friend who is currently writing a book aimed at increasing awareness on various real estate scams.

House hacking is a smart way to start, and aiming for cash flow properties is a solid next step.

What guarantees for success does it make and what outcomes are measured regarding the validity of the "program"? 

It really comes down to what you're aiming for.
