Walk inside and you feel like your in a model home.

Unless you really want to do complex models or really want to learn about M1 and M2 money supplies you can probably get away with some really good books by experts in the field (non-academia).One more question unrelated to college: My ultimate goal is to make passive income off buy and hold real estate investments, but that isn't a day job I can start out with.

The titans of the value-add model can likely argue against all of the advantages in favor of that model, so I suppose you could say these advantages are debatable.Nonetheless, we proceeded to place the land under contract and begin what would prove to be a grueling 6 month process of vetting all details of the business plan that the sellers had outlined for the development.

I'm looking for examples of materials like this that I can use as a model to create my own. 

Let's say I went ahead with one such deal, would this kind of buy and hold model be sustainable going forward with continued deals, or at some point this isn't going to cut it without real appreciation on the table? 

Very unsustainable model as we work to go digital.

Perfecting your data and reasoning costs time, expertise, and mental energy, which are all sort of the same thing. 

It is not the norm for a buyer to run into an agent or broker who the wisdom, expertise and the 'want' to be a good match for a buyer.I deal with agents and brokers every day and when speaking with them I know for a fact that even brokers who made several hundred thousands dollars from my purchases still send me crap properties for sale, every day, and these brokers know for a fact the properties are crap before they send them to me.My shrink always told me that I am an idealist, buy we don't live in an ideal world.

As such, they get paid only when a successful transaction is completed.Because DSTs require a deep real estate expertise FIRST, it is most common to see them represented by the brokers.

I think getting multi-family and turning into a STR could be a great business model and is something I’m looking into currently, but it carries more risk for sure.
