I’m personally based in Houston, TX, and I’ve noticed over the years that a good realtor can do a lot more for an investor than just listing a property.

Haven’t used it personally but a good friend of mine who self manages around 20 doors uses it and swears by it. 

When I encounter this type of client, I do everything I can to convert them into one of the previous clients.First thing I have them do is run all their income and expenses through a separate account instead of their personal account. 

You missed an important item: Depending on how a person does #1 or #2, it could get them: A fast-pass to the "Principles Office" for "bullying" and now there sitting in "detention".... 

I spend roughly $120k on my renovations, but this is for the entire property and developing the secondary suite which certainly costs more (2 new furnaces, all new plumbing, new kitchens and bathrooms with tiled floors and showers).All said and done, I personally love it.

I leveraged my owned land to build my personal home.

It started with really buying my own personal home, then selling and making a small profit.

@Avery Oblepias in general, paying for something you can learn online, is really paying for convenience and discipline.It's no different than paying for a personal trainer at a gym.Regarding S8, it's a pretty basic program that $5k seems a bit excessive for.Maybe, $1500?

I personally invest in the North Dallas area (Prosper/Celina) where there is lots of growth in homes with nice lots.
