As long as you think about what you’re listening to, the audio format can combine with other activities like commuting or exercising, and let you be following your goal of becoming a successful real estate investor despite your busy schedule.

I once saw a guy return a 3-year old, very used, power washer to the Midtown Manhattan Home Depot, without a receipt and a brand that HD doesn't even sell.

Even bad deals are a learning experience and can generate a tax write off on W2 income (assuming combined income is under $150K).

This combined with the management of 10 units and a live in flip keeps me super busy!

They decided to buy a home together so now they’re selling the 2 homes.They want $99k for the 2 homes combined.

Usually closer to 15% when combined with CapEx.Insurance is very high.

As far as CapEx, 15% combined with repairs is pretty good, I think.

Now it's not a guarantee that your property will ever be worth a million dollars but If you combine this with a good paying job and a retirement plan that's diverse, you'll be ahead of the game. 

Those two things, combined with the increased tendency from buyers to waive the home inspection puts me at a huge disadvantage so just trying to find an edge somewhere. 

@Monique Stewart of all the markets that you mentioned, personally, I think Kansas City has the best combination of cash flow and strong economic and demographic trends.
