I did not see marketing costs, nights that you need to spend at networking meetings paying for dinners or memberships.

That said, figuring out if and what to outsource is important to make sure you're spending your time doing high impact work..

The number one mistake that I saw buyers making was jumping right into negotiating (and not very good negotiating at that) without first spending the time to build rapport.

A lot of people sleep on properties that have been sitting, but where some profitable opportunities are.That said, I’ve been spending a lot of time working directly with investors and sourcing off-market multifamily deals—ones that never make it to Zillow or Redfin.

However, between the layoffs and back to office orders, it changes how people spend their money.

Or you could end up spending more time than just doing the work yourself. 

Hi Robert, I always look at the rehab and deciding what I can do vs the opportunity cost of spending my time elsewhere.

It's soul-crushing, and no one should spend the bulk of their lives dreading going to work.

Get a gander at your competition and see what they are offering and take it up a notch.You might check Fiverr or TaskRabbit (not sure for interior designer) and see who is out there.They should be able to help you out remotely and without spending a ton of dough.

You spend a lot of time and money having people do this work, and at the end of the day you don't net any more income compared to a long term rental.
