Customer supplies materials ?  

Many of our investors choose areas that have low land cost and steady population growth.

I'm reaching out to other plumbers to be safe, but are those supplies mine to use now for the next plumber?

Just remember that $70 is the gross number they charge , they have to buy supplies , insurance , tools , vehicle , gas , workmans comp etc . 

Fixing up a property and turning it into student housing is a smart move—steady demand and solid rental income.Great job!

Selling to the wrong buyer can become more expensive than carrying the home for slightly longer.I will buy my bath/kitchen fixtures at a plumbing supply house and not a big box store.

If they really want to pay the $10k for leads that we supply.

The easiest thing to transform them into is storage unit places but there is only so much of that before you have an over supply.

Yes we ask towards the top of the market, but I anticipate my holding times (which are in line as the short supply in my area is able to work for me) and build that in. 

REITs like Realty Income can definitely be a great hands-off option for steady income without the headaches of property management.That said, owning physical real estate has unique benefits like leverage, tax advantages, and control over your asset.
