You need to set actual realistic goals, realistic being they key word, pick a market study it, study it again, study it some more than decide if the yield works for you.

Rich, if you had a home study course, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Thank you for your reply.I have studied and drafted a few important clauses, which I asked the lawyer to translate into legal language, including must-have clauses for a California lease agreement.

we pass on at cost, keeps it easy to respond to guests when they say our cleaning is high. have even proved it to guests before- some people just like to see it and most i have done that with have become long time rebookers.Make money on your house and pass along fees at cost to me thats the best way to go and has been fruitful for us 

It was just a way to earn a few extra bucks when the circumstances proved right.The same for subject to deals; loan subordination; purchasing of “discounted” notes, or hard money lending.  

Key actions include studying the market, checking out properties, forming a team, getting the money ready, and beginning with something small.

Motivation is an emotional state. 2 people subjected to the same environment will inherently act differently and thus proves it is not possible to target motivation.A motivated seller is not someone in foreclosure or is an absentee owner or is in tax trouble.A motivated seller is anyone willing to sell their house below market value no matter the reason.Everyone, please stop telling others to stay consistent.Let me tell you something, coming from a (NASA) scientist and engineer.When something does NOT work, you don't "do more" you don't stay consistent.

These can include inputting your own information and getting a cost seg in 15 min, or having an engineer come to your property and make a more detailed study of your STR. 

Just finished my major in Business Management and am receiving my Management and Supervision certificate this summer.I've been studying real estate for a few years now, have watched tons of videos, calculated and ran numbers on numerous properties and listings, and talked with many lenders and real estate agents, but because I don't have anyone in my circle that's well-experienced in REI's I've hesitated to pull the trigger on anything.I'm looking to fix and flip, BRRR, LTR, MTR, STR, or multi-family.

That will be an excellent case study on the above question.
