@Nathan Platter, it sounds like we are indeed alike, and that action is key once I've done my homework and planning.

Make sure you have your math nailed down and make sure your vocabulary is flawless. 

I've done the math over and over, they are getting 13%-20% in most cases with all the fees they pickup off you, or the tenants.Another option is to use something like Appfolio, and a call center (they offer this as well), then enforce online payments, and using the call center for all repair request.

Like kissing a girl, driving a car or taking math test, you just have to get through it.

On the other hand, if you have done your homework, WORK HARD and start a real business, they will think that you are a very intelligent person who has what it takes to be successful.

(please do your homework!)

I can make spreadsheets that do math, but nothin fancy.

@Ceasar Blackman I thought about Climer too, their YouTube videos are really great for quick understanding of the "real estate math".

Due Diligence & Vetting Process— Each investor who invests in these platforms is hoping that the companies have done their homework and that the information that is provided to the public is enough for the investor to make an educated decision.

If you want to buy FAST, but sell SLOW (for lots more), that may well be an option for you, provided you've REALLY done your homework on how good a deal it is for all cash.But they're telling you: if you're not interested to (or can't) close quickly for cash - go away!
