Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

Paying all cash for everything got me to this point, (it also got me into this situation) and my concern is that straying from my methods will hurt the long term real estate intentions.

I would not utilize room count as your allocation method- it's too vague.

My strategy is buy and hold for appreciation, quality renters, and turnkey properties.

There are some differences in zoning laws but the methods of finding out about the zoning is the same in each, the methods of going before the planning, zoning, and select boards is the same.

Have your writing methods changed since you left school? 

I would advise that you have all contracts with your contractors and subs to state timelines as well as bonuses for finishing early (without sacrificing quality of course) and penalties (per diem) for finishing late.

Turnkey is a purchase method, nothing more.

Finding quality leads isn’t as hard as people think.

"Forced appreciation" is an excellent method to build a "buy and hold" portfolio.
