My passion for investing started when I was 8 years old as I would help my father manage his rentals by completing tasks such as cutting the grass, painting walls and the occasional collecting rent—seeing the power of passive income early on.This year I bought my first off-market, single-family investment property with the help of my father (I had great credit but my DTI ratio was a bit high since I am a full-time student) for $120,000 and the property appraised for $160,000 in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Definitely can be a daunting task. 

Fix-it tasks and would "take care of the property as if it were my own...."

Hire a helper if desired to do low-value, "go fer" tasks. 

Do you guys prefer to pay assistants per hour or by some pre-measured task metric?

I'm also not exactly a hustler/deal-maker, so I just assume tasking this out to the pros would be smart to get in the game.

Do you expect people, who want to buy a house, not not check out Zillow, Realtor.com and internet at all?

My conversation starter here is regarding what you implement to distract from the noise that makes you focus on executing on things that don't matter (i.e. irrelevant and seemingly important tasks that consume your day.)Excited to meet everyone and share info on the STR and vacation rental world and how to make everyone's financial goals a reality! 

Note that the intuit business model is to get you to use the internet version and charging you a monthly fee to access your data versus one time software cost.

I am still in the "education" and "building capital/credit" phase of my journey, but am looking to get an action plan in motion as well to lay the groundwork for a series of tasks, goals, and milestones to eventually achieve financial independence using this method.My girlfriend is also very interested in doing this.
