I can't stand to drive a car if the interior is melting or the automatic windows (ie things that should never break given how far we've come as a species tech-wise) go out every year.

By the time it was all done and rented the numbers had evolved to:Purchase: $50kRenovation/Carrying: $105kTotal cost: $155kGross Rents: $3135/moSo I spent an extra $45k but I'm bringing in an extra $735/mo and I have a MUCH better building with very solid, high quality, low maintenance tenants.

Your life and circumstance will evolve and change and you never know when you might want to make the transition to a PM company.

National options like Vacasa or Evolve are around 10-15%. 

I am doing my best to continue to evolve and still establish great relationships with end buyers and help sellers solve real estate "problems" they may have. 

But isn't that how our lives have evolved in almost every way?

I also think as funding structures evolve many of the better TKs that follow the above can and will move toward more structures that make sense and deal less with the uber picky one to two property type investor but that is just my opinion. 

My first summer in Alaska coming up, looking to fly fish for the first time and try my hand at one of the 5 species of Salmon here :)@Andrew, were you stationed in Ft.

I wish our state and federal processes would evolve as quickly as technology has.

My position is that you should just start investing and then become more efficient as you evolve, that way you don't get paralyzed buying your first property.
