However, there are plenty of other factors which may make it impossible to do so or financially infeasible.The undertaking is a process from start to finish and can often overwhelm a first timer.

Building a factory, staffing it, and then getting modules off the line and out the door for a single location is a massive undertaking, and I don't think even the most sophisticated and successful operators in this space would ever claim they could bring 35 factories online... as in, it just isn't possible.

Since I will be unemployed, I have thought that perhaps house-flipping would be a great use of my time - however I would certainly need a mentor for that undertaking and would likely need to cooperate with another flipper on a few houses prior to venturing out on my own.

@Rochelle Wilkinson, you truly do inspire me.As a newbie, I love to read stories such as these.It can be a scary thing going into this as a newbie just hoping to get decent tenants.For the most part I do have decent tenants, but those in one unit occasionally try to push my buttons, which I have done well to stand firm, but I cannot tell you how many times I almost feel like throwing in the towel because of these 2.I purchased the property and took over their lease, so they have been on property for a lot longer than I have owned it and try to push their weight around, not to mention I am a young investor so I think that sometimes makes them think they can push me around.Hanging in there though and thanks to people like you and all other BP members I can go about this not feeling so alone or like a fish out of water.Mistakes Landlords make (This may have already been mentioned, but these 2 I would say have been top on my list as I have not had issues with the screening or tenants paying):Skipping the routine inspections.I currently undertake 4 inspections during the lease term (move-in inspection; 2 in the course of the lease term and a move-out inspection).Some may deem this over-kill but for me, it ensures that I catch and address any issues sooner rather than later.Treating tenants like your buddies.You must be able to separate business from personal and know when to draw the line else tenants will walk all over you.

I don't even understand that philosophy.There is no business that the typical person undertakes that has not been done literally tens of thousands (or even hundreds of thousands) of times successfully by others.
