You’re on the right track—build awareness of costs where it directly impacts their role, but don’t overcomplicate the program with factors they can’t control.

If the goal is to become a full-time flipper/contractor, then doing tighter jobs can help build momentum for a business, that will pay dividends well beyond just the specific house, itself.  

I have the opportunity to manage someone else’s 10 unit commercial building.

I am trying to build a nice little next egg first then move onto rentals. 

Quote from @Benjamin Larabee: Hi all,My wife and I have worked over the last 7 years to build a rental portfolio and are getting to the point where the bookkeeping/data entry tasks are becoming too time consuming.

I’m Mark, a new real estate investor based in San Diego, leveraging my background in AI-driven lead generation to find off-market deals.I’m currently looking for small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes, or quads) to rehab and house hack, to build long-term cash flow while living in the property.Outside of real estate, I’m into fitness, golf, and exploring San Diego’s best outdoor spots.

I'm from the Southern, MI area and I am also building my real estate media business, Elicit Real Estate Media Co. 

Don't make the rookie mistake of overlooking build quality. 

I work for a building materials company now and took their online game from Zero to very engaged in the past few years and it's been really fun.

Our real estate portfolio included multiple Single Family Residential Flips, a commercial building (office/shop space), and a triplex in Canandaigua, NY.
