Pretty much every interest or hobby that my kids have gotten into comes and goes with the passing year or season; however, the skills that I can teach them within that window of interest sticks with them (hopefully). 

Looking to connect with the seasoned folks, mentors, and other like minded folks.  

The catch with the estimate is you may be wildly off since it's a new home and you don't really know what those bills will be until you've lived there a year (seasonal variability). 

It has all been a learning experience and I feel seasoned enough in my knowledge to know a deal when i see it. 

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

We make the design but we let our landscapers choose the actual types of plants based on season and cost. 

., but you'd need to rely on local contractors or someone to go and check that the house is locked up/ secure on occasion, so definitely some logistical issues there to consider.Additional logistical issues - if your agents are centrally working, then you need a logistical solution for: signs, sign riders (coming soon if that's required in your market/ pending), lockboxes, pick-up, and storage.

I'm looking into Self Storage investing. 

If it were the off season and I was having trouble renting I may consider it again but overall I don't think it is worth the extra vacancy but if you are doing MTR it is definitely worth making the right connections. 

This also helps me to forecast seasonality on my properties.
