Requesting and receiving a draw is not rocket science.

It's not rocket science.

It's not rocket science.

It's a bit of art and science. 

I had zero training, read zero books, and didn't paid for any courses.Someone, miraculously, I was able to navigate it :-) 100% its not rocket science, some are paying up to 7k to " learn  "WOW, I should start charging , LOL. 

Drive to MIT walk in and ask to speak with the professor of computer science and ask which student is the best programmer and hire that student, you will also have more power to negotiate because students are broke and they will do anything to get money so you will save.3: I would implement a map where I can see all the properties in the area and I would have filters in place so I can see what I want from comps, to prices, etc I would STUDY my competitors and take everything they have and create an all in one app.

I come from a data science background, so I'm accustomed to creating models to derive the incremental ROI of each variable.I hear some people saying "get the $10,000 hot tub", and I get that, especially if it's a "table stake" that your property needs just to be considered by guests.However, when thinking about less standard amenities, like putting greens, gaming rooms, billiard tables, pool toys, etc. what tools or methods do y'all use to evaluate if a given idea will deliver a positive ROI?

I've been doing my own taxes for years and can tell you that a couple single-family rentals on your Schedule E is not rocket science.   

You probably don't really need a mentor, for a few apartments, it's not rocket science, I'm feeling it's reluctance and looking on the other side of the hill at what you believe might be greener pastures, they may not be as green as you think.I got bored easily too, I'd find some niche, get that down, get bored and move on to a different aspect, just because it was more fun.

There is a little science behind the up front processing to avoid UW issues.At the end of the day Vacation homes can still be rented out so it offers a 2 sided coin.
