This is super simple work. 

Investing does need to be approached more like a business than just a simple stock trade.

Or could be as simple as current property is with some years on it and want to get out before cap-x starts eroding away things, moving into something that resets that clock. 

If you want to know what I coach or my program, a simple Google search will provide the information.

Here is my simple Top 5:1.Review the market – Understand the trends and conditions in the area.2.Analyze the property and the numbers – Ensure the deal makes financial sense.3.Visit the property – There’s no substitute for seeing it firsthand.4.Meet the team – Whether it’s your property manager, builder, or contractor, relationships matter.5.Complete inspections and appraisals – These protect you from costly surprises.If all these boxes are checked and the numbers work for your goals, then it’s likely a solid deal.

if you can be hands-on: no PM, a lot of DIY, etc. you can absolutely cash flow. 

Keep your first deal simple, and don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help or want a second set of eyes on a deal!
