Power outages, flooding, it was difficult if not impossible to get any contractors to come do any repair or clean up. 

The prices seem impossible to scrape up the cash for.

The problem I’m seeing with my area is that trying to apply the 2% rule seems nearly impossible.

Is it just me, seems that the only thing people have done is say how impossible or how bad all the what if’s are with this business model.

Without seeing the lease, it was impossible to know about that misinformation.I did have a tour of the building.

But conversely, one person can only do so much, and you really need to be able to go to the property a lot, so if you're long distance I think it's difficult (but not impossible) to self-manage.

The answer becomes more SFRs, but this can instead of solving the issue, exacerbate it, leading to so-so communication.Thus, I think that most TK guys and gals are good people who try, but there are structural deficiencies that are almost impossible to overcome within the model itself.As you know, when we buy apartments, property management, contractor budgets, and pay roll are all included into the model.

This will be your biggest hurdle - but you are only in Austin so driving up for a potential property under contract isn't impossible either. 

People in Montreal tell me everyday that it's impossible to find good deals in our market.

It’s also much easier that way, I have had active partners on flip projects which I know would be different than the rental situation but everyone having different inputs makes things almost impossible.
