Maybe some sort of a meter exists that can measure how much energy is being emitted to each zone. 

Waiting another two months to start is unacceptable, so I would like to begin by learning about wholesaling, with the aim of initiating a contract or two within the next few months.

The one with the lowest cost per result is the channel to go with.Some investors go crazy with segmenting and split by customer type such as probate, foreclosure, divorce, etc.You can only manage what you measure! 

I’m leaning more and more towards downtown Baltimore market, I have an interest in getting townhomes aiming towards college students, young professionals and hipsters, for some reason I just have an interest in inner city townhouses rather than suburb properties, is there any set data on what is a better investment ? 

I was aiming to be all in at 40k... so 10-15k in repairs. 

The 70% rule is a guide, but where you should aim differs based on the location and price point.

I am aiming at least 10, is it too ambitious?

In the short term rents fluctuate, long term they rise due to inflation, scarcity of land, etc.One measure of property that is rarely talked about is what would this property look like as an investment if I had to lower the price to break even, would there be a demand for it? 

I also have a personal interest in beginning investing myself (aiming for later this year) in either small sf or mf around my area.

If so, how does this measure up to your investment standards?
