@Joseph Kirton How much time do you feel is needed to be successful?

If we can complete projects faster, we increase IRR and build trust.3) Market Risk- The longer it takes to complete a project, the more exposed you are to market fluctuations.This goes for all things Real Estate - BRRRRs, Flips, New Builds, Rehabs, etc.Real Estate is a wild ride I feel your pain, I've had this happen many times where the project is twice as long.

I just feel like everything that I am looking at has to be a high effort strategy or an equity/value add play.

Given my circumstances, asking any of their family members to co-sign on a mortgage loan feels like a tough ask, as I wouldn’t want to place that kind of pressure on someone.

Landscaping, exterior paint, and a new front door can boost value.Flooring & Paint – Fresh paint and updated flooring can modernize a space quickly and affordably.If you have specific questions, feel free to ask—I’m happy to help however I can.

If you are self employed with no full time employees then you should consider a Solo 401k for your traditional funds and no UBIT on leveraged real estate. 

When you sell, interview as many as you need until you feel very comfortable with the one you decide to work with.real estate is a big investment, and for me it's long term, I don't want to have buyer remorse because someone isn't as knowledge as I like.when I was younger,  I was more willing or less experienced,  today I want the same level of knowledge as I offer when I help someone with their tax planning or when I prepar their taxes.....Show me your high level of knowledge,  you are hired.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to talk about real estate or exchange ideas!

Quote from @Danielle Levy: Lesson learned: provide the full story up front and you'll get better advice.If you feel there's a case, put together all the evidence.

Responding quickly, like you do, definitely makes guests feel valued and reassured.I think the choice between automation and personal interaction depends a lot on the host's availability and scale.
