I think you are right to a degree - things here in Las Vegas still seem like its a hot market however the houses appear to be sitting for a little longer than they were about 6 or 8 months ago - the correctly priced properties seem to be selling and the properties incorrectly priced, I think the average Home Buyer is saying "no way" to the high price and waiting for it to come down to a reasonable level 

If you hire correctly, you and all your employees are operating in your areas of greatest skill, or your genius zones.

A lot of this is going to be what fits best for you - your comfort level and your experience level. 

The new property will likely need some work to get the units to the level of my current property.

The question is whether you can properly screen them and what level of risk they present.

Recently, I read the biography Snowball on Warren Buffet.There are many unique attributes that have made Warren Buffet one of the greatest investors of all time: his ability to ignore criticism, his long-term focus, his remarkable ability to devour his way through volumes of books without distraction, his detachment from emotion for investing, his tremendous frugality, and much more.Buffet does have something we can all replicate.

When you get more square footage, you get more economies of scale and as such, the price pSF goes downward.Lastly, each investor or contractor has different skill levels and different purchasing powers.

Once you've been burned by one you will vet the rest as if their auditioning for an entry level position at the CIA.

At a glance, it skews as a better deal for the money partner, because once the sweat-equity has "paid off" their half, they are (likely) continuing some level of management responsibilities that the money partner isn't worried about.

Markets are back on ATHs after the greatest 6 month bull run in history, and everyone seems to have more money than they know what to do with.
