I would really like to start when I'm home visiting since I'll have about 45 days of down time.

I've been using this downtime to solidify my investing plan, expand my knowledge of the market/industry and now beginning to form meaningful business relationships.Those with experience investing in Fayetteville or starting out like myself, feel free to reach out. 

You need to craft a plan while you have all this down time to ensure you outlast the typical agent in this town.

I have our maintenance people use the downtime to plan for projects we were going to do later in the year, just as long as they can do the work remotely.

Given how quickly we've found renters, I think it's possible we're renting too cheap, but we've got good renters, good cash flow, the house is taken care of well, and very little down time, so I'm sticking with the "grateful instead of greedy" approach.Lessons learned?

Thought 2- Like said before, the "advisor" benefits more from you keeping the money with them.Thought 3- Over the long run Real Estate has been pretty damn great for most people.Thought 4- If you decide on buying the property, factor in money for expenses and down time. 

I appreciate the advice, I am definitely taking all the time in my day to learn these things, reading more books, attending webinars, listening to podcasts on all downtime, and taking all the free classes! 

Since my senior year of college in 2018, I've spent my downtime educating myself to prepare for my deal in anyway I can from listening to biggerpockets non-stop to reading material such as "The Book On Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner. 

With that being said, I haven't made any purchases BUT this downtime has me looking to buy more often to say the least.
