However, if you are profiting over 6 figures, the property might be too expensive to live in order to truly house hack.

Nights, weekends, holidays, etc.To keep this on-topic, though...DO figure out what's healthy for you to manage but remember it's a process where every experience teaches you good and bad (and be patient with that process).DON'T sweat the small stuff (damage/costs under $50, undisclosed dogs, etc.) but DO find a way to learn, prevent, put in better practices to maintain your sanity. 

If you have a lot of family in OK, that can be a great place to start assessing since you have dedicated boots on the ground, as well as a reason to visit.Don't overthink the analyzing of markets when you are still figuring things out.

Our goal for the projects we flip and the projects we design for other investors is to figure out how to get the same look at a fraction of the price. 

That's hard to figure out sometime.

It is hard to figure out if I will make anything but VERY clear the fees (lol). 

The figure for without compounding makes perfect sense to me.For compounding, I took PPR's example, and calculated the annualized return:With the following numbers:A = $1,431,237.45P = $1,000,000.00t = 3This produced an annualized return of 12.68% over the 3 years with compounding.What am I doing wrong in this calculation (I'm certainly not a quant)?

How do you figure out who you can trust to handle your money?

Here's some basic copy & paste info that may help you make better investing decisions:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

(You say it’s worth about $100k more than you’re paying so figure an extra $15k.)Maybe you’d be better off partnering with the parents unless they have zero interest?
