I feel it would be easier to manage multi-family properties unless I would get into fix and flips.

If the above sound harsh and distrustful … the game is rigged… this is for YOUR protection… many agents will claim that this is against their broker policy… so was “ negotiating the agent fees”… until a class action law suit determined that the big Real Estate Agent Brokers were running a monopoly and acting in collusion to fix fees.I just got “fired” by my agent for asking for a financial disclosure .. so that I could see the relationship between the agent, the seller and the funding source…. … it turns out that EXACTLY what I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT…. was exactly…what was .. going on….

The gurus and seminars often draw people who are broke or unhappy with their lives, and are looking for an easy fix.

The numbers can look great on paper, but the success really depends on buying in the right areas, managing renovations well, and having a solid team in place for property management.If you’re thinking about buying, fixing, and renting, I’d recommend starting by learning as much as you can about the different neighborhoods.

Starting with a smaller property or a few fix-and-flip projects can help you build equity, gain credibility with lenders, and better understand the process before scaling up.Securing funding for larger projects can be challenging without prior experience, but options like hard money loans might be worth exploring.

Id like to understand what the most profitable way to fix up a current 1,700 SFR in a 6,200 sq. foot lot would be?

Definitely focusing on offmarket or even on market multifamily homes (minimum 4 units). started off in real estate development last 2 years but the paydays are brutal building then waiting to sell.So now looking to switch up strategies to purchase cashflowing properties and then get back to ground up construction or even possible fix and flips. 

The other PM can be a fix-mindset type of person where they are not willing to share anything unless you have a property and are willing to sign a PM agreement in the same conversation. 

With software, it's only as powerful as its user so some clients overcomplicate things and spend most of their time trying to "fix Quickbooks".The most successful and quick clients keep it simple or keep it to their comprehensive level.
