The earlier you start in your RE journey, the better off you will be in the future.

Better this than going after your assets, future earnings, etc.In your scenario (without significant liability coverage) it's unlikely you'd have enough insurance to even pay for legal expenses.

(They concentrate/force the equity into their class B shares 13/18 million so they get 72% of the future capital appreciation at the higher 30% cut, versus 5/18mil at the lower 20% rate) They also seem to be overpaying in this downward trending multi-family environment.

The budget should outline the total costs and timelines for each component.Forecasting market rent growth is the next step, as it impacts the property's net operating income (NOI) and determines its future value.

On my new project in Oregon I was doing a fence along the back yard boundary of one of my lots and it had a few angles in it.. and I am looking at that and the plat map and the monuments and its not lining up.. ( and i just surveyed these 30 lots monumented them and recorded the plat in the last year.. sure enough one of the monuments was off and they had to come and reset them.. this after the county surveyor also double checks the plat before letting it record :)  it was either the monument was wrong or i built a 800k home 7 feet over the lot line LOL.. 

If you were starting a new STR or MTR, what are some things you can do to cut down on future maintenance?

You should be covered because they registered the project .

Before diving into BRRRR, try house hacking first, look into out-of-state markets, and use the profits from your initial property to fund future investments.

This means the projected rental income is below the projected mortgage payment.

The earlier you start in your RE journey, the better off you will be in the future.
