The experienced investors don't time anything; they strategically sell properties when the equity far out ways the rental income.

Is it just a matter of strategizing (finding cheaper materials, wholesaling well etc.), or are my example numbers wayyyy off?

Managing properties on Long Island is also more convenient due to proximity, and the robust rental market could mean promising cash flow.

I handle out of state clients very strategically, set you up on a drip or send you a few properties, you tell me yes or move forward.

I do see a robust market but, new cash flow investors are in precarious situations buying duplexes at 375-450; cash flowing 2600-3000 per month.  

I've not explored how a management company would implement the proper controls, but can say that the company I work for has developed a more robust process after one of our out-sourced PM companies embezzled rent payments and security deposits.

MRI is very robust for CAM etc.

Zillow and Trulia are not worthless if you do it strategically.

ADUs are a good option, you have to be strategic with that method as well due to the fact they are new and some areas do not have a lot which will change the appraised value.
