It's a barrier to entry that you don't want especially when good opportunities come along.

If you are an introvert that is certainly no barrier to entry.

Property entry point is too high for rental profit. 

I pretty much just based it off of the slow and steady population growth of each metro area, amount of Fortune 500 companies located there, barrier to entry, rent to price ratio and inventory of single AND multi families.

(Front, back, garage, entry.)

The up front entry is 5k to 25k depending on how much hand holding you want then 200 a month for their software connection.  

If your income is low and you are willing to jump the hurdles, it provides low cost entry.  

The most potent entry-level strategy for real estate is house hacking, and in my opinion, college is the best place to do that.

It's a catch 22, you have a cheaper entry but the repairs are usually more frequent than a newer property.

It is a great entry point for newbies as well as a nice add on for those who need a simpler way to keep track.I wanted to pick Neil's brain about what he was looking for as part of my research and see if he found a solution, what he liked about it, what he didn't and what he wishes he had to solve the problem.
