Sometimes, mixing family and business can be difficult, but I am happy you all are thriving.

Our mental model is to have enough that someone arriving late could put together a bare bones meal for dinner and have the essentials for breakfast before they head out to get actual groceries. 

People are busy with the holidays, and very few are focused on moving. 22 days isn't ideal, but it's not bad for this time of year.

Cost of doing business.

Thats how you run your business , not me 

I will eventually look to distance myself from this part of the business and hire a PM.

Like Jake Baker suggested, keep good records and have a dedicated bank account for your property, properly separating personal and business expenses.

My thought is that the people that ARE using it for lead gen/outreach, automation etc. will keep the methods to themselves until the advantage of early adoption is done and that business segment is saturated, then they will sell courses to everybody else..

You will need to find partners, you will need to travel to where you wish to invest, you will need to understand the ins and outs of the business by being actively involved and treating it like a business and not some super passive investment.If you don't want to do that work I suggest you just put that 200k into some sort of diversified mutual fund that can make you 10+% on your money without any of the work of real estate.At the end of the day this is just my advice and I'm only a stranger on the internet.
