Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Carlos Ptriawan, you are talking about syndicators and passive investing with very broad brush strokes, but then comparing to your unique direct investing experiences.  

i didn't even know auctions gave opportunities to actually have access to properties beforehand.Given your line of work, i would say that you are uniquely positioned to work well in the outlined situation.

The user in question is not the only one to express sentiments like "Section 8 tenants are actually really easy", that's an opinion that is not unique to one single person.

If you’re tackling major work like a full bathroom gut, expect it to stretch out, but with a solid plan, you'll stay organized and avoid delays.

I think you'll find that's a unique range and won't have as much competition.

However there is nothing unique or special about bitcoin. 

I like real estate because it is a unique type of investment. 

@Aubrey Adams-Thanks for the post / question -I would recommend developing a hypothetical plan  ( purchase price / loan amt needed ) and get pre approved ..this process is free and it will help get you organized and also to educate you  in many ways ..if you never end up buying - no worries and no costs have been wasted 

Which is why I think focusing on one thing at a time vs to many will help me stay organized.
