The due diligence process on the purchase was intense.

@Thomas Blue I agree with Matt, Boulder is pretty capital intensive - easy to find crap selling for $400k+.

Laying floor is much easier and less labor intensive.

Poconos is certainly a high intense market when it comes to self managing ( possible but sucks up a lot of time ).  

Anyways i found ONE and the problem is that it is 90 years old and structurally good but needs HVAC (30 years old), needs intensive complete lawn reno on the .25 acre lot. 

Finding an apartment deal that provides a good return in the Chicago area likely will be in a C-class area, and that is very management intensive. 

The only thing I might consider changing is increasing the asset management fee because short-term rentals are much more intensive for property management in general.I hope that answers your questions, please let me know if there's something else I can help with!

. - Started small on the renovations and progressively worked on more skill-intensive projects, while also subcontracting out various jobs. - Managed all Leasing - For the Sale, I listed on the MLS through flat-fee broker and represented myself as Owner/Seller What was the outcome?

We did it ourselves which was labor intensive. 

Takes about 60 days to get the funds once you start the process- a little time intensive but easy and worth it!
