What is the hardest part of DIY management?
30 April 2024 | 28 replies
@Nathan Gesner 1) if you’re investing with a spouse make sure both are on board for self management or it will harm the relationship. 2) it’s a business, not a charity, so if you’re susceptible to hard luck stories from applicants/tenants, don’t self manage. 3) water heaters, heat and a/c, plumbing only seems to break down when you’re finally on vacation, so have good contractors in place who will go on your call and let you pay them from out of town.

All I can say is that there are memberships that cost tens of thousands of dollars.What I tell people is find a local investor and take them to a nice lunch for 30 bucks and see if it goes well. 30 bucks no harm no foul. 25,000 to a membership not working out possibly is a huge deal for many.

I think the issue comes frankly when the advice is bad and/or harmful to the audience which is obviously subjective, but someone going on a podcast and telling you how to do a 1031 well to me is a lot different than telling people how to invest in real estate using “other people’s money” or sub-2, I also think the site needs to consider the broader effect on the public with some of thier strategies, for instance I’m not opposed to people buying “off market” if it’s done ethically and with everyone being on the same page, but you tell a broke 22 year old to buy “off market” and they are going to take advantage of old people, I’m not totally confident biggerpockets even understands its own audience, I used to host a real estate meetup, I had to stop because it was literally meeting after meeting if me taking some 22 year old kid out of doing something either stupid or often borderline illegal, it wasn’t fun after a while, but like that’s the core bp audience at this point more so than people like me & you.Thanks for those kind words all.

That said, there is probably no harm in reiterating this policy here.I agree that specifying a NEMA rating for the EVSE if it is outside is probably a good idea.
