I couldn't imagine spending 411k on a SFH at this point unless I was living in it. 

Unfortunately most spend most of their time and resources preparing for the liability event. 

Sounds like we are in the same boat with a handyman :) And to @Jonathan Klemm point, I have to weigh the mental capacity of handling issues remote versus spending time with family.

We are firmly in the performing note camp and spend only a handful of hours on each loan from beginning to end.

I'm completely lost at why people would spend money on class and workshop, when they can actually use that money and go find deals a bit outside of the expensive city we're in. $8,000 could got you started on a deal, or do a mailing list of some kind.

The unique thing about this platform is that you can actually search reviews from BP members and interact with them about their experience with that particular QI.

Best of luck and spend every minute learning.

I currently have about $50k in cash and am looking to spend no more than $250k on my first property (less depending on the area, number of units, etc.), inclusive of any renovation costs. 

Maybe you would spend the time to recover such a small amount but should you?

They are worth the money for a good hot tub that is mentioned all the time in reviews and doesn't have a ton of issues.
