However, I saw enough that I believe that the information available is so imperfect and subject to interpretation that large losses would be an inevitable part of the program, as well as large gains.  

Be a pro, be honest, be fair, be consistent, communicate, and you'll do well from an investor's perspective. 

The problem is that there isn't a lot out there, and when looked into each comp extensively, I saw the numbers were deflated because they were 'as-is' properties with extensive damage, or properties with a well, and other mis-matched differences.

You also have to be super detail-oriented, focused on continuous improvement regarding the property and guest experience, very in-touch with what it's like to be a guest at the property (and a cleaner of it as well), and focused on technological tools and opportunities. 

I completed an internship in commercial real estate, and I also attended a couple of local REIA meetings/networking events before moving to Northern VA.I was able to narrow down potential strategies, and I figured both BRRR as well as wholesaling don't seem to be the best strategies for me.

Hi Kemi,I’d recommend connecting with investor-friendly agents and wholesalers, as well as joining local Facebook groups for off-market deals.

They tend to cash flow really well ;) They cash flow well, but the rate of return is dramatically reduced.Assume a house costs $200,000 and rents for $1,500.

So who knows, maybe I'm just barking nutz or maybe I'm onto something, well see. 

But find them, pay them well, and FOLLOW their advice. 

Hey Joshua, I have seen in my experience as well how much pm's can help with investors just wanting out of certain properties.
