Fast forward 30 years and I eventually dropped the corporate world in 1995 and pursued real estate full time (I was making more money in real estate part time than a full time job in finance.) :)My suggestion - read, educate yourself (books, webinars, forum, BiggerPockets of course, Meetups,) but once you have the idea, take action.

These properties are also designed to maximize sleeping space and provide high end finishes and many times balconies, patios, rooftops, etc that Airbnb guests all love.

Major in finance.

When we were taking the brick out on the first floor, we were really disappointed to find that the contractors we hired had disposed of the rooftop bricks by tossing them down the remaining chimney.

Good question on the syncing pricing...I am thinking of signing up with One Rooftop which can sync my pricing from HA to my One Rooftop listings, but not sure about syncing them with airbnb, etc.

Go a more formal educational route in finance and law, but eventually you'll need to revert to 1, or 2. to act on a transaction.

I've been able to apply what I've learned in finance, marketing, and project/people management to my real estate investing.

It also has the auger tool which is great for grabbing bird nests on rooftop vents.

Definitions are important in RE and in finance.

What does the investor owner get for all his brain damage and actual risks assumed, I suppose he works for nothing.Never said there weren't GCs with degrees, if the have one in finance, accounting or economics they should understand that one is a paid agent/employee and the other is the owner-risk taker and that there is a clear distinction of rights to profits.The scammer types seem to put themselves out in a residential deal as if they are the engineer or architect, which they are not, nor are their risks or liabilities extended to such heights, yet the want to be treated as if they are in the same domain and be compensated in a similar manner.
