With time management, sourcing materials and learning how to complete task on your own.

As others have already noted this is completely overkill. 

But if your a W 2 and real estate is how you are planning on retiring by investing that is a completely different lifestyle and motivation and game plan. 

Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.

I am happy with the cost and what it provides. its not a completely "set and forget".

We replaced the oven after about 5 months and it just came from that separate account.Also, forgive me if you are already doing this but make sure to keep your tenants SD in a completely separate account from your personal checking account.

Fortunately, I stay completely occupied through FF so I've not had a need to branch out further.

Anything smaller may not attract larger investors or offer the economies of scale needed for profitability.Design Style: BTR developments often consist of attached townhomes, usually with features like garages and a more upscale design to appeal to renters looking for something between an apartment and a single-family home.Location Factors: The success of your development depends heavily on location.

Whether or not that is the right thing for you is of course completely outside of my knowledge.

In this completive market, it seems as though off-market deals is the only place to really find a "comfortable" position to be in (although completely aware that we are all in a risk filled area of investing).
