@Joe Timko automation is good for initial followup, task management and trivial workflow duties that can be time consuming.

My question is, is this just due to an over exuberant market or is there a price point where the 2% rule for quick initial analysis is no longer valid? 

Attending charity events, business groups, RE conferences, entrepreneur conferences, Volunteer.

Add in the work-from-home situation and the Port Covington project may never materialize the way that was laid out in the initial plans.The same thing happened to Westport.

Assuming it is and the turnkey is purchased at 80% LTV, The BRRRR has an initial cost less than 50% of the turnkey.  

Pretty much everything I’ve purchased has been initially negative but through raising rents year, value appreciation, debt pay down, etc there are many solid investments if you hold long term.

When my husband and I went for an initial inspection to see what needed to be fixed, we found the grass was completely dead and not watered in the hottest months (several evidences to support this).

mostly waiting and observing.accumulate more cash.SF Bay Area is showing signs of weakening, initially in rent and gradually price.even though August showed huge price gain, the marketing is cooling down obviously. currently have one under contract in Hayward.

I have a tenant in Los Angeles in a rent controlled unit which was initially rented to a husband and wife.

It's just a jumping off point, the goal is to make initial connections and build on them later, one on one.
