I had my hands on way too much as usual, and as always, the amount I saved in doing so was probably negligible when considering the opportunity it cost my in my job as a Realtor.

@Rahul P.To make a successful single-family rental (SFR) or BRRRR investment, consider your goals, risk tolerance, and hands-onness.

If you speak to a CPA who understands remotely what I mentioned then you're in good hands.

It's way too risky for the lender not to have an experienced hand at the wheel.

It would be ideal to be hands on for my first deal.Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

I've been looking at a property, where my agent and another local expericaed investor are saying the market value for the property is $180k, but the two mortgage companies told me off-hand that I can get a loan based on an ARV of $220k.  

She ended up inviting me inside, and we talked about her wishes for a different agent, which was surprising and even a bit wild, considering I had just gotten my license and had no business cards on hand.

I mail a brief, hand written letter where I introduce myself.

Starting out with hands-on experience is a fantastic way to build your skills, and I'm sure many investors would value your help.
