I expect and can get more for my SFH rentals. i want  more like $350+ a unit but that is not typical and my be difficult if not impossible to achieve in some markets. 

I love the area but the prices are high and it's hard to achieve the 2% that everyone talks about.

This will also allow you to take time on the work and learn first hand each step of the reno process-You have to live somewhere, might as well learn REI in the process - no better way to learn it then to submerse yourself in itWhen I calculate the cash flow for my house hacks, I look at where the rents for each unit will be by the time I renovate the units and am ready to move out (I choose a 1 year window) - Don't focus on the lost rental income while you are occupying the property, you need a place to live anyway - I view the negative cash flow as rent. 

All too often people dream without setting goals that are achievable and incremental in order to make their dreams a reality.

My journey into real estate began because I wanted to be a real estate investor, so becoming an agent seemed like a great way to always be around what I want to achieve the financial freedom I am looking for. 

ROBERT SCHULLER says, "Perceive it, believe it and achieve it".Best of luck.

What I'm trying to say is don't haphazardly take courses at a college without a clear goal and path to achieve a bankable degree.

My opinion is to always take advice from people have actually worked with a specific company, and not someone who does not have first hand experience, like anything in life. 

What is your investment strategy and goals you are looking to achieve?

So you really have to look for some deals.If you were looking at things from an ROI perspective, is there a minimum percentage you would aim to achieve?
