You have 3 things you can invest: money, time and energy.

I have been interested today through all of this conversation (last day of school for my kids so I had less on my plate than usual waiting for them and all of their pre summer energy to arrive).Regarding the Anti Guru sentiment....I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY...the sad fact of the matter is that many are NOT worth their price tag.

I'm solving all those points with extra stars :).Hi @Josh BowserYes GVL market is not bad but it has some downsides.

You could make the same amount of money (or more) without the time, stress, or energy required as a DIY Landlord.If you do decide to manage yourself, you need a quick education.

If you have the time and energy it takes to wholesale, then that can be a good idea to build some capital and get your foot in the door. 

I'm giving myself 10 years to be successful at this.Turn key properties are best for me right now, as I'm a provider in a clinic and work 3 nights a week in an ER, so my time/energy is limited.Thank you all for any tips, advise or otherwise!

5️⃣ Energy-Efficient Upgrades: Solar panels = tax credits!

In a previous life, I developed midstream energy assets. 

If you think you have average intelligence and a general hard working person, for non luxury STRs (competing with 3 star or below hotels in the area for average people who simply need a bed and a kitchen) I would use 60% occupancy rate to start in the beginning and then 80% after stabilization.

I’m trying to get a better understanding of the unlevered IRR hurdles SFR / BTR investors have for value-add improvements.By "value-add improvements" I’m referring to upgrades made to a property that increase rent or purchase value, often including kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, solar and other energy efficiency improvements, fresh paint, a new garage door, finishing a basement, adding a deck, and updating flooring, to name a few.I’ve been hearing a lot of different reactions to this question the last few months.
