Great Addition - on the switch from year to year - arguably the biggest flag in my opinion in Real Estate - "shiny object syndrome" switching from niche to niche repeatedly (especially as a "Guru") - whats tried and true for RE success IMO is people that stick with one strategy and niche (type, market, strategy, etc.) for years, stay focused when its in and out of flavor, and end up with big wealth and track record after years.Definitely flags of the last few years when people go from "STR" to "Multiamily Syndication" to "Boutique Hotels" to "Experiences" and so on...

If you are going to charge for your time, you should track your hours and then assign a reasonable.

This approach allowed us to move quickly and efficiently, ensuring the project stayed on track.
