When I actually found out what the actual acquisitions track record of the individuals were, it was far less impressive than what I felt it was built up to be.

Personally, I would go with multi-family in a market that is reliable with a track record of good cashflow and appreciation like KC.

He also wants us to invest in abandoned properties to purchase and fix up as there are a lot out here so that's another project down the road not sure how that would work out for us making money together but for now I just want to work on the air bnb property manager. 

We are on track with our projections.

To give you an example, we walked every 5th unit at an 800 unit property, but only took notes on paper and used excel to track and estimate costs.

You are on the right track brother, KEEP PUSHING! 

You’d have a bigger buyer pool with less vacancy (as a percent) and probably collect a higher total rent from more payers, in case one didn’t work out.

If not does anyone recommend any other website to track building permits in a local area?

I know finance but I don't know leases, I don't know plumbing etc, so I hire out the details and have somebody keep track of all the details so I can focus on the growth of the business itself.  

So my last post seemed a little empty, here's are some add ons for you.Things you might want to try:[1] empty a room in your house and make it your dedicated office--paint or wallpaper it just like your old office--same stuff on the walls, etc...[2] Put in a desk like you had when you were working--spend the money to get what makes you feel productive.[3] Get a very comfortable desk chair you can sit in for hours a day.[4] It's COVID time, so use ZOOM to make some calls when you would normally meet in person.[5] If you're a drinker, put a mini-bar in your office so you stay put there vs going to the kitchen for a beer and getting side tracked.[6] When you're burnt out on a task, have some kind of fallback use of your time, such as reading an ebook about the business.[7] Eat breakfast everyday before going into the office and take a lunch break (if you are non-COVID afraid then go out for lunch 5 days a week).[8] Make the office your daily base of operations vs just your home.[9] Make a Vision Board on Excel.[10] If a computer CRM is not your friend--buy and use a Roldex from ebay.Just my 2 cents.
