You'd need some deep pockets and the nerves to take on something in range of ~$65m in R.E. acquisitions.

I will be managing the property and have done a deep dive in all things real estate - screening, leases, Oregon tenant laws, etc.

I have no clue on the deals and the deep dive into these is above my pay grade.. but I can say that deals that subscribe in an hour or so .. then little to no due diligence is done  at least deep due diligence .. and its the herd mentality.and I can only harken back to Realty shares heydays with Nav Athwal.. 

I've been doing a deep dive looking at cash on cash return for various down payments and expenses on properties with a mortgage.

I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc. 

Dig deep for online reviews, Better Business Bureau and their State Real Estate Board, etc.- Do be open-minded though as we have many of the above from tenants who claim we illegally evicted them (so, somehow we got a signed Write illegally?)

I mean you take most mid western or deep south cities and over 50% of the SFRs are rentals. were as on the coasts maybe 10% of sfrs are rentals there is a reason.

Nothing wrong with investing in equities.I'm plenty deep in that.

And issue them a 1099 which verifies their EIN# as well as relieves you from paying tax on the $ you pay them. 

And unless you have very deep pockets, you can't afford to be that much off....So as has been said....hire a very experienced General Contractor and have them give you a budget number based on your SOW, (plus they will find other things that need to be done that you will not have seen).On your succeeding projects, you do a budget yourseld first, then hire the GC and compare numbers.Then, eventually you will be comfortable going all solo...but it takes time.
