Quote from @Deborah Wodell: Bought a property with what we thought had a side yard full of junk and then discovered it was actually a small neighboring lot with zoning and public nuisance fines.

Any deal has three (3) important components: finding deals, finding money, and running deals (this one doesn't matter until you find the first deal and the money to go with it).  

The culture component is ESSENTIAL!

That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

There is a battery component but this eliminates about 90% of the battery need. 

I looked further into to this youtuber and discovered she buys small businesses.What small businesses would you all recommend investing in as a start? 

The top chart below quickly shows you what the renovated, avg and distressed homes sell for in that area on a $/sf basis over time, so if you are estimating way over the top line, you instantly know something is off, maybe you have an outlier comp on your hands, etc.It doesn't have STR data, because any STR we build must also pencil as a LTR to avoid being upside down if it doesn't workout, so we use normal residential lease data when underwriting our rentals.As for forecasts on the market, I don't do any aside from the current Q trending % at the footer of the charts, and it's really just the current Q's average data/performance held constant and applied to the rest of the quarter (since not fully done with Q yet).

As far as appreciation goes remember that in real estate you make your money when you buy not when you sell, as Warren Buffet once said: “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.”

I discovered the BP podcasts while educating myself about financial literacy & the FIRE movement.
