What are your goals?

The goal here is networking.

Everyone's goals are different, so the vehicles and path to get there will also be different.I use cash value-focused permanent life insurance, taxable investment accounts, and lines of leverage to purchase real estate directly, syndications, and funds that pay monthly (mostly real estate, but some not). 

Whether to buy something turn-key or something that needs work comes down to your goals and what you are looking to accomplish. 

@Lotus Eli, Again, I am not sure what the end goal is for these.  

Weigh your headache level against your income goals. 

Apologize their stay didn’t meet their expectations that your goal is guest satisfaction therefore feedback is essential…. you’ve dispatched a local team to property to check items mentioned and make corrections.

I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah! 

My goal was to be a little active to make a higher return and to do that I needed to be in the same neighborhood where I live.

It will help you clearly understand your current financial position to see if you are reaching your goals.
