This will help you in a few ways - it'll help keep you motivated to find a property (so you can have your own space) and allow you to build your war chest (as cheap/free rent means you can sprint towards any savings goals). 

Account Closed Each investor's perception of a deal is different based on their current position and future goals.

Is it really over paying if you are hitting your goals?

I think it would great to invest in more active for the next 3-5 years while having the end goal being passive.

My goal is to build a small portfolio whereupon I can retire and draft rental income.I was recently making an offer on a turnkey duplex.

One of my short term goals is to have buy a MFH within the next 12 months.

My goal is to build a nice income to live from in 10 years but if there are ways to tax shelter the income for longer that is fine too. 

Again having my guys doing the rehab.Following, building a steady portfolio of flip and sell and buy and hold properties id like to start moving in to the international market, obviously this area will take years to get to but is an end goal of my company.I do greatly understand by putting myself into the business side of this and throwing myself into the renovation side of it, i do fully understand the work load I will put my self under, however from all I have read and learned from other people in the industry one of their biggest issues is the contractors.

At some point investors need to take responsibility for their investment goals & get aggressive.

Do some reading and then get on the phone to compare services relative to your investment goals.
