As a starting point: -If they work full time and make $700k a year -Don't want to or can't spend time self managing a short-term rental -Don't have a spouse who wants to take the lead on managing the rentals They are likely not going to directly reduce their taxable income with real estate year-to-year. 

I self manage, have a cleaner but I also sometimes turn the unit myself.

In another 5-10 years, I'm confident I'll be happy purchasing more real estate.   

You cannot go after them as for a regulation a+ offering is self attestation (meaning you are attesting that you are not putting in more than 10%).

Quote from @Shaun Ortiz: One thing that keeps coming up is how some investors start with BRRRR but eventually shift to other asset classes—self-storage, mobile home parks, even commercial spaces.

Concern: LA’s landlord laws, headaches from self managing, a good deal may still have tenants occupying it, if I ever leave it's an alligator so it costs more than the income it makes3️⃣ Out-of-State Rental – Get skin in the game sooner by buying a cash-flowing property elsewhere.

We do the book keeping and self manage our properties.  

@Travis Gutting Being prepared and confident to make an offer will land you good deals from the MLS. 

Hi all,Posted on biggerpockets my first deal back in 2011, this forum gave me the confidence to get it done. 

But, I was once a paid preparer and prepared or supervised the preparation of tens of thousands of tax returns and I saw some pretty stupid self prepared mistakes.
