Question to older and more experienced members: How challenging is it to excel as a real estate agent and investor at the same time?

Hello, would anyone be willing to share their Excel spreadsheet checklist and financial calculators they've made so I can edit them and use them for my business?

With all the resources available on this website and the wealth of knowledge in books, videos, seminars and meet ups, I genuinely believe I will achieve my goals and I will be able to do what I want, when I want, where I want and with whomever I want and enjoy all the wonders life has to offer!

A simple sign stating video surveillance  is in use as well as leaving written notice about extra fees for dumping large materials should suffice on both fronts.

I think many will do as I and many I know have done. a) Exit the Blue state. b) Move to a Red state. c) Find a good conservative county in that state that appears to be landlord and STR friendly. d) Buy properties that can become excellent STRs (to avoid the tenant issue).Or if STRs are not your thing, get to a Red State and do your LTRs or MFRs.

I am a beginner in the real estate world and have been reading up and watching videos to educate myself. 

I know that people coming from Real Estate rather than the trades and moving into being a landlord, and ESPECIALLY women, tend to like wasting, ahem, I mean spending money on them, but you should bite the bullet and either find excellent, trustworthy tradesmen yourself (who usually have no interest in working for home warranty wages) and/or learning basic mechanicals and trades yourself, at least HOW to do it even if you don't.

Listen to podcasts and videos to find a strategy you can learn and love.

I‘ve an excellent track record and credit score, but a commercial lender is only interested in the performance of the property, right?

Heard on a youtube video that it’s important to get accurate comparisons.
