I am able to get my own leads as I was in sales before and also i am a bit of a Tech geek so iv set myself up for targeted exposure with platforms to help manage volume.  

Airbnb competition is quite stiff in Denver, which keeps the rent down.Our current strategy is to use the Airbnb platform to find roommates staying 30+ days, which means we don't have the hassles of licensing and paying the STR tax.  

in a standard septic system it consists of a tank and leach lines that run out from the tank.

I'm thinking maybe buy more stable properties and cash flow for smaller but more consistent returns

Like any real estate platform one wants to build, you need to create a simple filter to sift the opportunities.  

How much margin depends largely on the quality of the asset and the consistency (not just quantity) of the cash flows it throws off even in bad times.

If you want any sort of consistency you're going to need to get your volume up.

Be patient and consistent, be aware and brave.  

It wasn't more than 15 years ago, we had a unified President and Congress working in tandem on a semi-similar platform and it didn't turn out very well at all and they got to start with a federal surplus.

My aspirations in real estate is to promote a comfortable steady income where I'll be able to replace my "JOB" in having more time to enjoy and do more things with my family more consistently.
