I don’t know how to explain it, other than a movie reference.

I agree with Mr Santarelli : “60 hours per week is a lot of work time “Key things for yourself will be: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~creating a great team of contractors, project managers, agent, etcDefinitely listen to the following podcast at least twice: #15, #12, #10, and #8Most important listen to podcasts #6 with Arthur Garcia -> triple timesJust a marketing ideal~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~on your potential customer receipt maybe you can mention “ We buy houses “ , etcFYI – podcasts our locate under the “ learn “ tab

Some ideal to get you started.

Nothing is off limits, religion, politics, music that really stinks, health insurance, corporate rip offs, younger women who refuse to go out with old men, old men that ask younger women out, or men I guess, movies full of kids, church dinners where evryone brings the same dish, stop lights that aren't syncronized, whatever....Yes, I'll do one on late night RE gurus!

Ideally, it makes a difference in the quality of the air inside the house and energy efficiency.

More than one year would be more ideal of course.

And if your clientele are college students think "Animal House" and perhaps you should rent the movie.

A pool isn't ideal for a rental but it sure would help with the resale in some markets.....now if you live somewhere that's cold 9 months a year that might be a different story.I have one rental that has a pool that I bought early on in my investing career and when it's vacant I can get 10 applications in a day.

I've considered starting with a multi, but most of the ones on the MLS and loopnet are around 10% cap rate which is doable, but again, not ideal.

As well, I'm a single guy, and the ideal home for me in the area would be in the 800K range, and I just cant afford that right now, not do I want to until I have a family to raise.
