I'm already planning what my winters look like because I want to spend them traveling to other countries, I'm fairly close to having my business automated to the point where I can choose to shut it off, and turn it back on.

If you got time on your hands this might be a good option as there are features that look like they're great and I hope to be able to find out if they're great if I can ever get out of Implementation hell.

I will certainly come back to that since I'm, well... a wholesaler.If you were to implement the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), you could add to your investment portfolio by essentially buying properties, increasing their value, getting renters in them, re-financing to get all or most of your investment back out, and then repeating the process. 

If the property is an investment property, the max LTV I have seen is 75% and it needs to be a first position lien.Conventional mortgages require a full interior & exterior appraisal, unless you qualify for an appraisal waiver granted by the automated underwriting submission. 

Ideally I would like to find something with a long shelf life, perhaps one that runs only during a guest stay or can be remote controlled by electrical outlet that I can integrate with the automated lights and door locks I have on place now.

Hi BP, just looking for your recommendations on great business automation books, if any are out there.

Here is another diagram I made special for you:Separate accounts are not required unless you are implementing asset protection structures (LLCs), but you'll want clear accounting of expenses and income.

My focus ideally would be on people who have believed in the traditional model of saving in 410K plans and hoping for social security or younger people who are starting to realize that in a gig economy where automation is reducing employment every year, they will have to plan much shorter than the traditional 40-year work life.

Consider one that offers the ability to list your property, schedule showings, screen tenants with a thorough application process (and full reporting options available), create and sign digital leases online with your tenant (once you've found one), collect rent online fast & easy, report those on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus (added incentive for your tenants to make all of their payments on time, every month), and then easily track their maintenance requests with automated notifications.

I’m implementing the BRRRR strategy and plan on selling the homes at the 5 yr mark as Brandon outlines in The Book on Rental Property Investing.
