I've read about Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffets approach to investing at large and it resonates with me more so than the crypto-generation. 

This thought led me into studying about becoming financially free and building generational wealth.

We are literally next to a golf course and about 10 mins from a ski place and I don't think fancier amenities would generate a ton of ROI. 

Let me add some new wisdom to this.Try not to see social media as "just another channel to try my luck".It is not a separate thing, especially doing SEO or paying for ads.When it comes to lead generation, it is not (just) about generating that lead.

Ahshar Sylvestre Code violations are a great source of lead generation.

A single property is simpler to manage, carries lower financial risk, and offers streamlined tax reporting but may generate taxable income sooner.

A better solution, in my opinion, is not to rely on wholesalers,  as not only is it a dying breed due to the sheer incompetence they exhibit due to gurus' wrong instructions and teachings, but, wouldn't it be better to generate your own leads through a high performing website?

You can only play games for so long.Chances are your next door neighbor is an IRS agent and turns you in when your tenants blocks their drive or some other random event disturbing your IRS neighbor.ADU catches fire and your insurance won't cover you, because it was an illegal and unpermitted structure.The city inspector told the last guy not to build or rent it, and is now pissed and wants to make an example of you and just red tags the whole property and no one can occupy for the next 1-2-3 years while you wait for a hearing.Then when you get the hearing, "staff" recommends you tear the whole structure down, and if you still want an ADU, you can apply for a permit and rebuild it.Your tenant quits paying rent and won't move out and you can't evict them, because there is no valid lease and they're just your "roommate".Probably a dozen other bad things can happen to you when you do stuff like this. 

No pocket listings = agents aren't even calling for new leads anymore, rising interest rate has nothing to do with an agent's ability to generate leads.If you mean multifamily apartments, 5 units and up, some of those agents will know, but not many until you are over 10 units which are more listed by only commercial brokers which I agree do understand seller finance.

Here are a couple of developers you should take a look at Trion Properties, their principal Max Sharkansky posts here on BP, https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/top-5-markets-multifamily-rentals-2019and Feldman Equities out of Tampa (3rd generation real estate family famous for having built the terminals at Chicago O'Hare) who are among the only ones opening up downtown skyrise office buildings to accredited investors.
