The question is when does it get worse and to what degree?

This isn’t a “hands off” property management situation - the property owners will still be involved to a degree.

Typically it should be only a couple of degrees warmer than outside.

At that time those of us who have cash will be growing our portfolios with deals that will vary in degree according to market.

After transitioning our 4-plex to STR, and one or two more Short Term Rental purchases, I think we should be ready for a small, 9-30 unit property that we (my partner and I) can own without other partners.Of course, one of her degrees is in hospitality management, and her past 20 years of career has been in hotel management in various roles up to and including GM. 

It will result in a high degree of seller financing, especially welcome today, when high down payments are required.

The highest level of education I have is an Associate's degree in Business Administration, and now currently pursuing obtaining a Real Estate license (I start classes next semester). 

I agree with @Greg Scott, to a degree. 

Thus that does not factor into our decision.BRRRR, we do this to a degree. 

No degree so it unfortunately rules out a lot of similar jobs.
