But is cost savings a big component or is most of the cost paid by the agency.4.

@Zach AdamsOne thing you can do for your own business, like a real estate business is to set up a Solo 401K, with a Roth component if you don't have any employees. 

Taking this off the forum would have a detrimental effect on those who are working their way up to becoming buy and hold investors and/or rehabbers. 

Death and tax's, those are your 2 "guarantees" in life, everything else has a risk factor, a component of "chaos" in it. 

Plumbers and electricians are at the top of this list.I often advise potential clients that when making the decision of self-management vs. hiring a property manager: consider this is an investment property and is likely only a component of your investment portfolio.

What an extraordinary component!

There was a thread just the other day about an investor who was stuck after numerous years with a bunch of low end units that he couldn't get rid of without taking a loss.I get it but that was his example of cashflow more can be made from Class C as well is all I'm saying there are so many different strategies and ways to scale in this business and some people are better in area's than others so my point was for someone that may be needed to hear that this could be a possible option if they have the skill and are in a market where the numbers work in their favor.Like I also mentioned before you never know where gentrification can happen but that is luck and in my opinion, any appreciation on SFH or small Multi-families is going to have a lucky component because of too many variables outside of your control.

When it comes down to it, only take on those things you feel comfortable with approaching; yes, push your skills, but not at the detriment of losing any type of equity/value in your home upon rehab completion.

Also, as an aspiring Project Manager, I've felt that RE has helped with understanding some components of management and there has been a lot of cross-sharing of concepts that I have applied to both my day job and my real estate hustle! 

I know several Boulder bike industry companies like RockyMounts, Broken Carbon and Kappius Components recently moved to GJ, and it seems like with everyone working remotely now more, people will choose the Grand Valley and it may not be anchored by just energy jobs and retirees much longer.
