This link has over 11,000 data-driven investors taking Neal’s real estate data science course, and there are over a thousand reviews from people that Neal doesn’t even know.

Preparing a tax return with one long-term rental is not rocket science.

I've seen some people post on here about offering modern/classic game consoles. 

Ain’t rocket science especially for skilled labor.on planet earth those jobs get done pretty quick

It's not rocket science, but it takes the right personality to handle it and enjoy it.  

At the time, we were not thinking as investors and primarily focused on buying a modern, pretty property under $1M.

Hoping to place tenants on the first floor as close to move in as possible (1st floor unit is modern and doesn't need any work), then quickly make the repairs on the 1 bedroom unit to update and turn into a 2 bedroom and get that rented as soon as that is done.  

Honestly, it is a lot of work, and there are some big pitfalls you want to avoid, but its not rocket science. 

It is a duplex totaling 4 bds and 2.5 baths with modern updates, in great condition.

It may take you 10 years to get there, real estate is slow, but it works reliably and it's not rocket science.
