Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too? 

If you tried to use the app to look at photos of your ads or look at the "charges" for rent payments and such it was pretty much unreadable and would have several glitches making things overlay on top of each other and such. 

The world of real estate tends to be pretty medieval from a technology perspective.

The 10% vacancy and repairs, along with 5% capex in my opinion are pretty high. 

I did a quick check in SLC and while I couldn't find a duplex at that price point and what I did find was pretty far out from downtown, but would something like this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/141-E-Nort... be of general interest?

Even after moving 2.5 years ago, I continued to self-manage because I had a solid network of connections that made it pretty easy to handle remotely.That said, it eventually came down to wanting my time back.

I am pretty much expecting red tape but hoping to be surprised. 

I feel pretty free to tell someone when I think RE is not the greatest investment. 

Speed generally 2. little more flexibility in ARV LTV3. availability of capital.. the banks after the GFC pretty much stopped fix and flip lending Granted your top tier clients can still get these loans.

CT isn't cheap so if you plan on doing it there you are going to surprised at how poorly you do. maybe in the suburbs I'm not sure but as much as I know people call us from CT and everyone is rich and has lots of money and things are expensive out there. build to rent is a great model. we build 3 story walk up infill and keep it to the residential side. 3 units is the most units before it's commercial and you need engineering, etc. check comparable and things liek that. we came up with this design a year ago and we sold 10 if you want to talk further please DM me happy to connect. there are some great build to rent conferences. we went vertical not horizontal with it to save on build costs and design to fit on any infill lot. this fits on a 3500 square foot lot. most lots in our area are 30x120 or 30x150. in miami where I live now they are 50x100 or so. but any infill lot we can pretty much get this one on. there are some great build to rent conferences coming up too that if you like this topic I'd recommend attending I'm sure you'd learn a lot.
