Your property manager will play a key role in this team, helping you maximize occupancy, maintain the property, and ensure tenant satisfaction.

@Steve Crisp There are a lot of variables that go into play as to whether you could benefit from a cost segregation study or not.

The property cash flows and I could definitely see each investor making at least $1000/mo with the most hands-off approach of renting to an operator and much more if a person ran it as STR or LTR and it is a great diversification play for me as Costa Rica should see much better appreciation than the Midwest, but if I were to cash out I could see five times the cash flow because of the power of leverage.But I think you hit the nail on the head in saying that it is a lifestyle type of investment.  

And virtually all of them had owned rentals and maybe kept a few but were just tired on the TTT but wanted monthly cash flow . so there probably is some of that at play as well Investors that dont want to deal with the PM aspect of owning RE..

Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.

PG's are worthless those that have PGs that are worth anything dont need gap funding they have the cash.this is a play for folks you know well .. not for internet facebook BP etc.. people that do this do it because they know you like you trust you and think your a good operator.Public has to many other choices that are much safer bet.. its not always about ROI with those with money..

When you have won the game, it's time to stop playing."

I very much have a long term play and "don't care" about the cash flow immediately, but obviously I don't want them to negative. 

I am far from an expert in this field as I have been learning alot myself but cap rate does play a role in your type of business.

I see it as most people are so wore out from being at the parks all they that they pass out and get up early to do it again.I don't even turn on the TV when I'm there.Kids have tablets to watch their stuff and play games on.
