I read from various sources that first time is the hardest as it will give me much experience of what to and what not to avoid.

paint, clean, and what not every year = $1,500+/ turnover (this is on the low end)I was in the same situation as you Aaron.

I would also like to know is, for example if a house is on the market for $17k and they say that the home has about $10k-$15k worth of repairs (or even if I do and inspect the place myself ), What do I add ,divide, multiply, or what not to get the numbers that I need to put the house up for, so that I can get a profit?

Regarding Operto, i thought i would be able to add my cleaner to the airbnb system and she will be automatically notified when she needs t come in and what not. is that not the case?

But at this point we'd probably be looking at purchasing a place and listing it without ever seeing the place in person (pre-covid we had planned to make one trip out after purchase to get the place set up).Are there any PM companies that would potentially handle stuff like furniture deliveries/setup, keeping the place stocked, etc but would take a smaller cut if we handle the front end bookings and whatnot? 

i just don't want to get in trouble trying to wholesale deals being as i am an agent and whatnot.

Anyone that needs comps or what not for southern california Id be happy to help

I'm new to real estate investing, I have house hacked (a condo, so i know a little bit about what not to do lol) but I'm looking to purchase my first non-owner occupied home and would love to meet people.

They have had their floors and whatnot replaced over time, just like these tiny homes will have to in 30 years.

@Scott Galloway Right now mostly online, searching purple bricks and  what not, I havent started with the various other marketing techniques like mailing list or bandit signs.
