I plan to take the cookie cutter approach, having about 4 or 5 engineered plans, a dedicated team of contractors trained and experienced in this kind of construction that I work with exclusively, as well as an engineering team in place to consult with when needed. 

Tenants are usually poorly trained.

I'm a new investor just starting out, I have some training videos and books I have been reading and watching.

Recently, I’ve started to view my 15-mile training runs through nearby neighborhoods as a sort of prospecting method —a foot tour of sorts— helping me determine neighborhoods I might be interested in investing in.My goal with Bigger Pockets is simple — I hope to learn from other investors within the community, leverage the tools and resources to improve my ability analyze potential deals (to help my 40-something-year-old-self gain the confidence to do what my 20 something-year-old-self knew was possible long ago) and contribute to the community where I can with the experience I have.  

Once you get an idea of what works well (tiled shower/bath stall, tiled kitchen floor, appliances) in the respective price range this will go pretty quick for you.  

My boyfriend is the one who had the actual experience & his parents are ready to retire (they are the actual owners) they are willing to train me in the day to day to operations plus the business side of it .

That is what this sites here for.I think they teach real estate valuation as part of the basic training needed before getting your real estate license.

Unless you've tested this and proven it doesn't work, it's irresponsible of you to tell people it doesn't.Real estate investment training is not a commodaty like a laptop or a book, yet hundreds of companies are spending hundreds of thousands a month advertising online to potential club members (I know this from years of direct experience doing this very profitably for clients). 

This has been a slow moving train wreck for a very long time!  

A lot of firms don't train their employees on them, but you can find some experienced folks who can still get them done.
