I'm a Senior Business Analyst that's part of an Agile Software Development team at a Healthcare IT company.

My Q1 2018 plan is mostly to get knowledgable:- Get more involved in the BP forums (post at least 4x times a week)- Consume REI content (listen to 3x BP podcasts a month, watch 5x BP Youtube videos a month, etc)- Meet more investors or people in the industry - would love to find a mentor (attend at least 2 meetups/events a month)For Q2, I will iterate on my plan based on what I've learned in Q1.

Reality is communism has FAILED in every iteration it has EVER been deployed, on every continent, in every nation.

I am definitely getting some very good insight here on the cons of investing in section 8 and I appreciate itEric, the best way to open a conversation about running rentals in the hood is to find nice, well-spoken people who are making money doing it and have glowing reports about how wonderful it is.

The changes highlighted at the top of  the "1st Mtg" worksheet are also incorrect.Your "Run Your Numbers" spreadsheet is simply a re-iteration of the scenario I explained showing the difference between "periodic chunks" and additional principal on each payment.

I then re-iterate the more immediate financial requirements like annual income and move-in amount needed.

Marco Santarelli it sounds like finding a good team is an iterative processes, and that one cannot expect to pick the best team members first time around?

I think this is just another iteration of Evolve and Vacasa.

Each iteration I read about not having a GC supply or pay for materials, actually has nothing about a desire to control the materials management leg of things, it's from a perception/assumption that it will save-$, effect a reduced cost of materials. 

So I've never had a blockage since doing this type of rehab.With 2 daughters I've pulled a lot of rats out of P-traps & their 2" shower drains P-traps at home & in their current homes.My days of climbing under vanities & kitchen sinks are over but then again I'm not as slim & agile as you.
