Watch TV ads for luxury brands and they're all touting their automation.  

If you purchase the right properties low enough, I've used bank financing and received a check at closing to do the repairs etc....Otherwise get creative...Good luck and ...I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY OR CPA, NOR DO I PLAY ONE ON TV.

Does anyone know if there will be a BiggerPockets tv show?

That's not a leisurely outing but a major time commitment.

Other options is owner financing, lease options, and airbnb Not sure if this applies but maybe corporate housing, registering home to film commission of the state for movie, tv, and photo shoots, and rent out your roof to energy companies.

TV and Radio, websites, etc are often ignored, but almost never produce a negative reaction from someone.

Good thing is that I don't need reality TV shows to make me feel better about myself:), actually I don't even have cable or anything. 

We've researched economic data, demographic trends and city development plans, not to mention spending hours upon hours here on BiggerPockets reading advice and trying to get a feel for how the rehabbing business actually works (as opposed as how it's portrayed on tv).

They do the Flip or Flop tv show on HGTV. 

The IRS has useful life tables that you can look up at your leisure.
