Time is such a powerful tool in real estate if you have the DRIVE and wisdom to act when you are YOUNG!

Shortly after the tenants moved in they started on a power trip and felt that they were in total control of the situation.

The power company turned it off

I was asking a couple of members on my power-team the same question a few days prior.  

@Omow A. I

I mean I was shown power points of 25-50% commissions on the education programs they are selling.  

Nonetheless, someone who has the staying power and a captive construction crew and/or does this as an owner-builder, will make out pretty well on a new build.  

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

@Luciano A., I know there are a few of us in Katy that want to start a meet-up.
