Do you believe self-showings, where there is little to no human contact, (to build value in your unit or the PM company), until a tenant has paid an application fee, a race to the bottom on your rent rate?  

A real estate business is not different then any other self employment income.

If you are self managing the numbers will work very well. 

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

Make sure you've got cash reserves for closing costs (around 2-5% of the purchase price, repairs and maintenance (aim for 1-2% of property value annually), vacancy periods (budget for 3-5 months of expenses), property management (if you're not self-managing), emergency funds for unexpected repairs.When choosing markets, look for those with stable job markets, growing population, and strong rental demand.

Hey @Aman Kumar, we are full time real estate investors from Northern Ontario.

I would probably only want to buy a condo-tel personally if I were going to self-manage it.

Given that the industrial market is softer than the prior few years, I intend to buyout/wait until current leases expire and leverage the space into self-storage. 

Our lot size is 7300 sq ft and main house is 1700+ sq ft.Location: San Jose, CA- We were thinking to potentially design the ADU such that we could have a wall (or a door) that allows us to separate the ADU into a 1 bed/1bath for self use (or rental) and another part which could be rented separately on AirBnB as needed.

Mine is boredom between Self Storage and Country subdivisions.
