I view the main components as being:1) Money  2) Deals  3) ContractorsSometimes I have more deals than money, other times I have the available money but not enough deals and other times I have the money and the deals but my contractors' plates are full with my other jobs. 

A few of things to consider:1) Cash flow is only one component of return.

My top 3 depending on the components you are looking for would be Salesforce, Trello, and Active Campaign. 

If this is not a BRRRR and thus does not have an important refinance component, just calculate cash flow without ARV. 

Would I be able to determine if removing the tree could be troublesome to underground components or foundation? 

There's also a branding component to it so it may take some time to build an awareness. 

I did not see the VA component.

is what BP calls "Wholesaling").Unfortunately, some local REIA meetups that include a lecture component might come off as a guru sales pitch.

The forced appreciation is also another huge component.

I agree witth everything you said, learning is the most important component for just about anything, I will do some research about everything that you mentioned, and I love your attitude too, thank you!
