Hi @Juan David Maldonado, it's not exactly the same, but the sites promoting the most optimal views of finance and investing, with a strong social component, would in my opinion be:- ChooseFi- Afford Anything - J.L.

Those are all good points, but....every asset class has it's benefits and detriments.

During my 3-day workshop, I do an entire roughly 2-hour component on market analysis. 

In most of Houston, there is no zoning, so if I get a nice land and can easily put two or three offices for half a price of a single structure and rent them at half the cost of a regular small office, or buy a knock down house, level it and put up converted containers on it, possibly even add self storage components. 

If they are unrealistic, its a detriment. 

No way I'm putting down a non-refundable deposit only to find out later the Seller was padding his income and "forgetting" expenses, which happens all too often.Also, why not have your Seller hire an apartment inspector to give the place a thorough going over on major components and issue it an accurate report on the condition, good for 180 days or whatever?  

The rehab component is the riskiest part, and if you aren't careful it is possible to over renovate when you are new at this.

If the value add component is put on pause for a few years in relation to ability to increase rent I am curios wha part of the deal the return will come from? 

As part of that, I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about a home inspection so that there aren't some major surprise costs that will make the deal bad.I have 2 major questions:1. what are the necessary components of an inspection for a rental home (I want to do the stuff that will avoid big expenses down the road and will avoid law violations but nothing extra or unnecessary).

(I think I could maybe increase rents down the road for having it too though so that may offset)- My PM mentioned that "Unfortunately this is a major component... could be grounds for your tenants to withhold rent payments".
