$50/sqft for a full interior and functional update, $100/sqft for a full gut down to studs, $150/sqft for newcon .If these numbers make sense I would want to visit the property for a true estimate, where it would be line item work scope development. 

That is 100% true of this contract. 

I am now keeping away from funds that are leveraged so high and chasing yields that are too good to be true. 

Quote from @John McKee: 7% is better than a DST, but look at mortgage notes as they provide a higher return and have no acquisition fees, capital calls etc.It's true that you can get higher current return with notes, but there is no upside upon exit. 

True!

@Alex Stariha Cozy is a cheap option to start with it, but I don't see it being able to scale and provide all the functionality as a true property management software.

The facts you shared about 'most people' having $1K in their bank accounts is so sad but true..I look at my friends UberEats bills and then laugh when they say they are nervous about making rent that month. ;-)@Theresa Harris hello! 

It's really easy to fall to the trap of social media and Instagram gurus screenshot Ing their so-called returns on their stories and making posts about how much money they made, and wearing crazy Rolex watches and recording podcasts on yachts to believe that all that hype is true.

Newspapers are dead and bringing them all online has only lessened the true journalistic impact which is why you see good writers writing about stuff they just reviewed, but do not know.

I remember a presenter in a real estate class recently saying, 'Buyers are liars, and sellers are even worse,' which got a good laugh from everyone because it rings pretty true in this business.
