It seems like returns would be low to non-existent with interest rates where they are...

Hes a great agent, very well-versed in house hacking and investing. 

I got future walls done with wood panels as well as paint and wallpaper put up.What was the outcome?

I decided to get a remote job, establish work history, save up enough capital for my first househack while I researched and learned about markets and strategies.I'd like to create an active business and I am looking at the MTR strategy.

It didn’t sit well with me so today I had a plumber take a look and they quoted me $14,500 because pipes need replacing.

I'm an agent as well and that's how I make most of my income- I have plenty of clients who want to self manage, and I help them do that as well.

Or would I be ok with another rental and enjoy the income..Would like to know from people who did their own development and was it a game changer to their business profits?

My wife and I have 16 rental units in Kentucky and although we have an on the ground handyman we mange financial things remotely.  

As a syndicator, I can say that raising capital has become much more challenging since 2022, so many deals have closed in the last two (2) years that aren't fully funded and that are continuing to raise capital after the closing.There's likely truth to the money being raised going towards reserves, which is a very important part of any syndication deal (running out of money is one of the big reasons why syndication deals don't go well). 

@Dan Kiely Independence Heights and Garden Oaks are similar to Edo as well.
