Most fields to become world class at something take 5 to 10 years of consistent work and improvement on a daily basis.Today about 21 years in with commercial real estate I have tons of business and also properties I can purchase.

Good luck with your search.

I am optimistic that things might improve with this change, but I would not pay again just to find out.

I'm looking to rent out this house and find new opportunities, but only have about $30k free for this next investment.Hi Malak,Curious how your investment search is going?

Since you and your wife have renovation skills, targeting properties that need minor improvements can maximize your return on investment while minimizing the time and cost associated with major renovations.

Success often comes from picking properties with strong chances for rent income or those that can be improved in value.

I've searched all over and havnt really seen anyone else doing this or talking to much about this approach...

I have done a couple hours of initial research searching for top markets and have an initial list that I'm researching including Detroit, Memphis, and OH (Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland, Cincinnati) to start.

How much have you over-improved the property?

Moving to a portfolio model—where a pod (1 PM + 2 VAs) manages all aspects of 200+ units—streamlined operations and improved accountability.
