I built RCIC using GPT but am incorporating more into the ecosystem.

Responsibility in the Property Ecosystem The traditional hands-off approach—where sales agents, developers, and builders disappear post-transaction—is no longer acceptable.

That’s how a lot of successful investors scale without burning out.You might want to look into turnkey rental properties in the Midwest and Southeast- markets like Cleveland, Indianapolis, Birmingham, and even parts of Tennessee and Georgia are known for strong rents relative to purchase price, favorable laws, and a reliable investor ecosystem (turnkey providers, property managers, contractors, etc.).Turnkey investing isn’t always as "hands-off" as it’s marketed, but if you vet the right teams, it can be a great option to start building real cash flow while focusing on growing your portfolio.

By establishing this boundary now, you'll be able to create a healthier separation between your personal life and the business as you continue to grow.

Great places to explore for both turnkey rentals and value-add deals include:- Akron, OH – Low acquisition prices, steady rent demand, and a strong turnkey ecosystem.- South Bend, IN – Underrated market with solid returns and affordable small multifamily options.- Birmingham, AL– Excellent rental market with consistent appreciation and a strong labor market.- Memphis, TN– Known for cash flow and investor-friendly property management infrastructure.If you’re looking to build more passive income, turnkey rentals or partnering with vetted local teams can help you scale without the day-to-day stress.

I'd say we are entering a lot healthier time to be in STR than the boom and bust of the last few years. 

Seems it would save everyone in the ecosystem time and frustration if it were. 

All the education is the same more or less, it just depends on your target market and the ecosystem you get. 

Every deal is its own ecosystem of zoning, financing, local politics, soil conditions, and economic timing.
