@David VitarelliI like your optimism and I hope you are right but I doubt it.

I'm in a similar scenario except that I converted to a 1099 last year, so optimal loans aren't possible right now. 

You want to make sure you optimize that return as well.

Real Estate agents aren't, generally in my experience, the most tech savvy people in the world, so you may be able to dominate local targeted marketing.And, just as a disclaimer, I have no idea what I'm talking about, this is just how I would attack the problem.If you think I sound competent, I have some more ideas that may help optimize marketing strategies.

Batts can be cheap, but almost impossible to install for optimal effectiveness.

Generally, when someone qualifies for a Solo 401k, it is the optimal self-directed investing platform.

Hi Michael,Although I agree with Brian Eastman that co-investing with your IRA is less than optimal because of the increased risk that you might inadvertently commit a prohibited transaction, it is, nevertheless, possible to do so under certain limited conditions. 

You just have to learn how to use it to optimize and streamline your procedures.Years ago, I did say QBO was no good, but they have updates along with new features, that make Accounting and Bookkeeping easy.Like anything else, with a new shine object, you have to put in the time and resources to learn how to use the software and view reports on a weekly basis. 

Even in a great area you can have a failed project due to project costs to high, bad sight lines, bad access, non-optimal location, bad tenant mix, and on and on.
