Does it come fully furnished and ready to go or do you need to outfit the place?

Ideally, you layout all the duties (Find, Underwrite, fund, rehab, manage) and assign a value to each of those based on how much time they might take. 

I'm looking at it long term and will not need the equity anytime soon.  

Since then, we have been dedicating our time to learning as much as possible—reading extensively, analyzing potential deals, and listening to BiggerPockets podcasts.After careful consideration, we decided to sell our current home and rent instead, allowing us greater flexibility as we begin our real estate investment journey.

So investor need to choose wisely.  

Don't need to read the contract, find a new HML.

I can't imagine how much extra time is spent without having automation.

I think when you start you need to make sure you work with people who are reliable.

Thank you so much!

@Treza Edwards  your original question may answer itself when you say there is not much new construction going on.
