You could also fight and argue with them for 20 hours a week, stay up at night figuring out strategy, thinking of witnesses and asking neighbors for statements about the height of the grass and noise of the dog.

I can honestly say that neither me nor any one of my staff has ever fielded a call from the lawn mowers in unit 106 about the noise the classic car in unit 107 is making.  

While it might just be my personal bias, moving into a neighborhood with a lot of construction wouldn't appeal to me as a renter as I'd have to deal with disruptions, dirt/mud, noise. 

Your success with this build definitely keeps me motivated through the grind of the permitting/construction process.  

Go figure the time i get everything ready to take off hard, the US comes to a grinding halt! 

You now have to live with another person in your house (extra car, more noise, more depreciation, possible drama, etc).

You will get a lot more trash, a lot less of it makes it into the garbage, and being considerate of neighbors as to noise etc. is something they are not used to. 

Or is it better to rent until one can buy a house he or she likes to live for the rest of one's life if one likes access to a garden or backyard as well as much needed privacy and noise isolation.

Its also why the folks like us and other investors do so well, because we were willing to put in the work and grind out the tough years to be in a position to enjoy the results later.You didn't mention this, but if you're thinking about wholesaling part time don't even bother.

There is a high degree of NOISE that prevents your message from being heard/consumed.2 - You are not the only RE investor sending them direct mail (especially if you are sending to the same lists as everyone else - e.g., absentee owners).The #1 rookie mistake we see is investors that do 1 or 2 direct mail drops to a list, get low response, and bail out.
