Teach you more about real estate without having to do the heavy lifting 3.

I let them do the heavy lifting so I can focus on operations and strategic goals

Essentially though, it's apples and oranges.

It is very difficult to passively invest without networking and connecting with other passive investors - it's a heavy lift to get into such illiquid, long term and capital intensive investments but a Community can help you short-cut much of the process by sharing the experience and knowledge of those who have already done it.

Get three quotes, make sure your comparing apples to apples and then review your policy every year. 

And I picked a bad apple. - Had 1 contractor lined up originally but didn't have that funding for that kinda of reno upfront.I will definitely keep that in mind going forward with those contractors! 

If it does work, I literally do all the work and heavy lifting for my clients.

The final permit inspection pass will lift the condemnation notice.  

Even easier if you have a PM doing the heavy lifting of tenant placement.It is good the current owner is evicting the trouble tenants.

I like older houses that need a heavy lift = greater discount.
