I’ve worked with clients exploring similar opportunities, and here’s a bit of guidance based on what I’ve seen succeed.1.

Everything else is a no go IMHO. 100 days a year could be OK if you can succeed with that number but I would want the option to rent the full 365.

Following the shiny object, throwing money at a market you don't know well, and blindly trusting strangers that have a clear profit motive put you in a poor position to succeed regardless of where you choose to invest.

The only people who succeed at birddogging are the ones who learn everything they can and know it's going to be a low-paid slog so they do the work hard and one day it changes because you have earned more.

We want our borrowers to succeed and return again and again.

If you know a cash flow market well, you are set up to succeed there in both ways.

If you are an action taker you are bound to succeed, if you pay the money and do not follow the course and use the resources Pace provides and do not ever take action obviously you will not succeed.

Probably the hardest thing some of us ever do is give ourselves permission to risk failure to succeed. 

A lot of investors who succeed in EC know the tenant base very well and a lot of them self manage.

In my experience as an agent (and long before an investor) people who are ROI driven and don't come with a passion for brick and mortar do not succeed in REI.
