In my experience, people with an athletic or military background understand the value of hard work and also realize that consistency will bring results eventually.. every set back is an opportunity to learn, grow and get better for the next at-bat.Training and onboarding:As far as programs or tools, I've tried monitoring CRMs and more in-depth platforms (like Sisu) to track agent activities/KPIs.

If I were to open up a separate real estate bank account, I would then have to add funds consistently from my W-9 job - which in my opinion begins to blur these two accounts together anyways.Should I still open up a separate account for this first house hack, or wait until I buy the 2nd property, which would provide consistent cash flow that will go directly into that account?

I have dozens of BRRRR's in this market and the biggest key to success here is 1 - finding sources that provide consistent deal flow2 - finding a contracting team that is reliable, communicates well, priced well, works in a timely fashion and most importantly has time for YOU.

Importance note:  Following up on leads daily to generate consistent deal flow

I first look to hold long term but if the numbers are not perfect I will flip it for a quick return and reinvest that money into something that can generate a better ROI.Buy good deals, diversify, and consistantly increase ROI.

we build ground up and don't collateralize anything. we build at a discount in Columbus Ohio and we build cheaper than every builder I've seen in our market and because of that we make each person self fund a retainer account. we don't extend any credit to anyone. opposite of what you are saying. builders that bring value call the shots.

I have a goal to post at least once a week to get to know you guys as well as make sure I'm consistently learning from people who are smarter than me :)When I started reading and learning about REI I felt pretty strongly about hiring a PM.

Attached is a screen shot of my passive investing returns for every apartment complex I've invested in that has gone full cycle and sold.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.
