I have noticed that his capacity and bandwidth has been reduced as he scales into commercial and other aspects of his business.Has anyone successfully tranistioned from a strong mentor to independent investor?

Long story short didn't have the bandwidth, but now I'm thinking it may be time to start a new and do something else with my time.

I'm running out of bandwidth to be able to self-manage, especially on the leasing side.

Now, whether you wholesale or flip depends on your goals and bandwidth.

. - For the right people (landlord who wants hands-free ownership but achieve higher than normal LTR rate, and arbitrager who has the skills and extra bandwidth, AND has confidence in their own ability), I think this kind of arbitrage model is a win-win.I'll be operating in the Triangle area. 

@Sarah Hadassah Negrón a lot of what @Drew Sygit mentioned, but mostly it is not a good use of your time and bandwidth.

Quote from @Aaron Lawrence: Seems like it could be a winner if you've got the bandwidth to manage / property management in place for the next two LTRs. 

And we have a little bit of bandwidth to build for other people now but right now kind of limiting that to investor friends or family.  

STR later when you’ve got bandwidth.

Having encountered bandwidth difficulty with our accounting firm and CPA, we replaced them with a national company with capacity to handle our ever-growing portfolio.
