I’ve read some of Brandon’s books as well as others, watched a crap load of podcasts (love bigger pockets btw) and ready to start taking action. 

This site is filled with do it yourself landlords who crap on the industry but there are plenty of really great companies, you just need to find them. 

So run the numbers and follow what the math tells you.Yes, getting in now is definitely more expensive, but I don’t see prices coming back down significantly in the near future, and no one really knows what will happen… so to some degree it is a crap shoot on timing.  

I can provide you some personal horror stories wish crap contractors that don’t know what they are doing.SOW = scope of workThere is a massive checklist on a job like this regardless of whether you think it’s just a trash out.

First off, HOLY CRAP!

I would first watch some YouTube tutorials on the product and connect with other investors who use the service readily.

Which still buys you crap in this market. i haven't looked at conventional loans yet but I'll have to do that now.

You can then run your reports according to property or the entire portfolio.There is a bit of a learning curve, so you may want to check out some tutorial videos or hire a firm to set up the account and help with support.

And yep, people are their own worst enemy - they shop in places that dont pay well and that outsource everything because **** is CHEAP... then they complain that there are no jobs or only jobs that pay crap.....   

My thought is that things I wouldn't even consider or know about could crap out and cost a fortune to replace or fix if I were to purchase homes this old (plumbing, structural, foundation, electrical, etc).
