@Paul Novak Thank you for sharing this.

@Paul Novak Great question — and you’re right, there’s no single right answer here.

@Paul Novak You are gave good, prudent advice, nothing wrong with that! 

It's the lifestyle of doing what you want, when you want but also to scale up to a major player in the field.

Well we have seen many Arbitagage players fold up their tents before.

Now we just need to fill them all up, and take all the spillover to what was here already and then get some rent increaes.Plenty of big players here...and small ones too.MF investor meetup groups are pretty active here and there are plenty of people like Brad Sumrok doing trainings for a very effective price if you want to drink education from a fire hydrant.MF covers a whole lot of different things....some things to watch out for here are old buildings with central boilers for hot water, central AC coolers, flat roofs, AC units on the top of 3 story buildings or higher, corroded sewer pipes. 

You can rub elbows with the local players and get a grasp on the market.

New construction has the biggest margins and it's where all the big players are active right now! 

They are a large company that has buying power and a network of contractors realtors and others to do the work. the owner, Zach also here on BiggerPockets and has a stellar reputation for customer serviceFor cons - people will view some companies in a negative light because of this, but the reality is the individual who is thinking negatively is typically inexperienced and doesn't understand the businessbut....this is a reality as someone who has been in this space for almost 30 years.Contractors realtors, and others one day could be an A player and do great work.

@Sabian Ripplinger we have two prong approach similar to what Paul Novak was mentioning.
