Good Morning Nick,I agree our situations are similar but coming from different perspectives which I think can compliment each other to build some great portfolios and help each other complete our objectives.

I think the biggest obstacle I am thinking of after reading some comments would be the objection from neighbors.

It depends on your objectives and capabilities. 

You propose it is not a "business model" or a "process" but you real objections seem to be with the quality of the deals presented.   

Started by building a personal home with the objective to turn it into an investment property How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

That way you take a less emotional stance and look at applicants objectively.  

Avoid the "shiny object syndrome" by narrowing down your niche as soon as possible.

However, generally speaking those will be C-Class single families but it all depends on your goals and objectives.

I will talk with my partner and we are going to do our best to find a solution for every objection a RE investor like you may have. 

More information is needed, and I’m curious about the reason for your question and the objective.
