I look at this industry as a marathon and not a sprint. 

I have read a few books and spoke to some friends in the industry.

It's also important to note that the industry standard is always going to be to take comps closest to the subject property first. 1+ miles away is considered to be far from the subject property in normal metros.

This could be with a full-time job in any industry.

i want to keep the group small. not like industry scale crowdfunding.if I can find a property which has okay cashflow (which is hard anyways). and can collect around 10/20 people who wants to invest some cash each.I build a company to own the property and give each person a share. and give yearly dividend to each, until sold.

I will say experience is a big teacher in this industry - when I was new I didn't know sh*t about "fixing" properties.

Healthcare and construction are the biggest industries. 

Through meticulous planning and execution, we have created a dynamic space that now stands as a beacon of innovation in the automotive industry.

Also besides residential there is commercial and industrial lands and a host of zoning issues.Each aspect and real estate type has maybe similar, but largely different skill set requirements. 

To combat this problem, a great management company who will have your back and navigate the ebb and flow of the ever changing climate of these rental sites is essential.Regardless of industry, when one or two of the providers consolidate power and foreclose all competition, this type of behavior inevitably follows.
