But feel free to PM me if you want to discuss more in depth details. 

Regarding your equity comment can you explain more in depth? 

(airbnb, monthly leases, etc.)Would love to hear more in depth about the numbers!

Can you give me some more in-depth reason as why to stay away early on?

You can filter by the beds and baths and other aspects to make the results as close as possible to the one you're comparing.When I build my semi-automated hotsheet for investors, I take exports from the MLS from both the sales side and the rentals side, pull them into a SQL Server database, do some data cleaning to screen out as much of the garbage as possible, and run what I call my "magic query" that joins sale listing locations to rental listing locations by a conditional match on subdivision and beds/baths, or the average of the entire MLS if the subdivision is given as "METES & BOUNDS", with a flag in the output showing that those M 'n B rental numbers are MLS-wide averages for a given beds/baths and will need a more in-depth evaluation (like rentometer) if the estimated cash on cash return for a classic 20% down scenario, looks promising. 

It was an in-depth discussion of RE Investing with some added networking to meet locals.

I've found David Greene's in-depth analysis to be all the information you need to start your first BRRRR project! 

Everything you wrote seems to ring true in every sense I can think of and appears to come from a depth of personal experience.

I try to do as much work on my houses myself as i can, but i'm feeling a little out of my depth here, and wondering if i should just hire this out?

If you're half as busy as me you will understand that this is not worth the time or animosity.I'm debating the depth and nature of my response.
