As a quantitative person, I empathize with your approach about wanting to get everything right.

One is very personal, and the other very practical.First is an approach my wife and I have used regularly over our 20-year marriage when facing a big decision.

I'm also actively networking with others to increase my funds/passive income by partnering in deals, providing income, working extra, whatever I can do.The point of all this is that I am approaching it like a business.

The answer is easy.Companies know that if you give specific data, you are less likely to be questioned and challenged on the veracity of what you are saying. 

I added Internet to the rent as an extra incentive over the competitors, but yes winter is quickly approaching and I'm getting anxious.

@Giovanni Luna personally I don't have experience with development.My firm belief though, if you have experience and a solid track record, finding money for projects is not the challenge, rather locating great opportunities for your investors.Your investors and lender will want to know about your experience and track record.

While we would all love our real esate business to be easy to manage the reality will be that managing your properties from long distance will always be exceptionally challenging and for the most part you will discover that it's just is not worth it. 

The superior investor seeks out ideas that challenge his or her view of things.

I have had more than a few hateful tenants but in every case they were all socially challenged to begin with.

As we are now approaching October, the after Business (9-5) hours, time to interact with Clients becomes shorter & shorter until we approach Spring and the time changes again - lessening your opportunity time.
