@Garrett Gruss tough to say haha because there are two very different areas in which you're speaking about.

You might expect that if I’ve created America’s most-comprehensive set of materials on how to invest in apartments, that I’d be encouraging you to just “jump in; the water’s fine.”Well, I didn’t get to this position by being conventional.

When you’re ready, we have lots of good materials on how to assemble a great package of property management reports, among other management topics.Here’s another efficiency tip: next time you’re reviewing the discussion threads in forums, look for people who have actually done all the things they’re talking about.

@Ijeoma P. working multiple brokers is tough...sure, the first call probably went well, but this is a relationship business...I've sourced 7-deals this month and none of them went to folks that were running the broker circuit.

I've seen a lot of mentions in the forums of people wanting to do this strategy, because especially in todays market it is tough to find deals with a traditional strategy.

Here are a few books I would recommend:* The book on rental property investing by Brandon Turner* The millionaire real estate investor by Gary Keller2) Determine your why - Your "why" for real estate is ultimately what is going to push you to keep going when things get tough.

However as Colin mentioned, there are tough restrictions here especially needing the property to be at least partially owner-occupied in order to rent for less than 30 days legally.

You should absolutely make the suggestion of the materials.

Hi everyone, I want to start rehabbing... but the cost of materials is 3 or 4x according to a contractor friend.

It’s tough when you may have to readjust based on the current work that is in front of you.
