You a big Dave Ramsey fan?

Quote from @Jessie Dillon: just my 2 cents.. i'm not a fan of the syndication model. there are better ways to invest more passively where you have more of a say in what goes on, can achieve higher returns, and can have your personal interests at a higher priority. 

Quote from @Paul De Luca:Personally, I'm not a fan of enabling bad tenant behavior and in life you get what you tolerate.

Transitioning from construction equipment rentals into full-time real estate must have been a big step.I can relate to your passion for finding deals and helping others reach their goals—it’s such a rewarding aspect of being in this industry.

And , since I had been working in an industry I really wasn’t passionate about, this was my chance to try an industry that I have had a passion for for the last 12 years or so.

Personally, I'm a big fan of house hacking and usually recommend that as the way to get started if possible.

I am not a huge fan of them personally as they are PE investors and have a very, very narrow view of the industry and how it should be approached. 

From the calculators I've looked at, it seems like it makes more sense very-long-term to hold on, but I'd love other's thoughts/resources (I'm not passionate about passing on as-much-as-possible to my kids when I die).From a blog post on this site about when to sell, one of the factors was when things have appreciated more than the rents in the area- but I wasn't sure when it was 'enough.'

I'm a big fan of the live in flip for your first.

@Rebecca Gonais this something that you have a passion for and want to do?
