Real estate investing is forgiving; the average person can still make money even with some big mistakes.Hi Nathan,Thank you for the detailed and insightful advice!

Fine-tuning your savings, building a reserve fund, and running detailed ROI projections will help solidify your plan for long-term success.Good luck!

I watched every single video and did every single exercise they suggested including writing in extreme detail about my perfect day once I’d “made it”, making an audio recording of it and then listening to it every day.

@Thomas YoungmanThank you for such a detailed response.

For example, our design team creates detailed plans that align with market trends, and our contractors execute them with precision.

Quote from @Chris Lo: Which platforms/websites do landlords use to find the rent rate, how long the rental properties have been on the market, and all the details about other rental properties?

Feel free to reach out with your scenario details.

The problem is no one book is going to be detailed enough for your specific state and county.Right here on BP there are lots of discussions about tax liens.

If you need to cover utilities, the numbers tighten significantly, making a lower purchase price essential.Let me know if you have any further questions or want to explore these numbers in more detail—I’d be happy to help! 

I will not comment as to the tax laws and underlying rules - that is a discussion you can have with your tax advisor who presumably you are paying to help you.What I will do is provide practical and business guidance on tracking time.Firstly, there are apps available that can assist with time tracking where you can specifically detail your time, who you met with, etc.
