That kind of blanket cynicism isn’t useful when real people are facing real consequences.As far as outsized returns and “even the best operators” not delivering them—let me offer a real scenario.

This has happened several times over the years. 

Speaking from my experience, time wins.

Plus you would be learning the business at the same time.

I'm based in Chicago and see a lot of real estate transactions through the eyes of my clients.

Clear Financials for the InvestorA good property manager doesn’t just keep the unit occupied, they help you plan for future cashflow:• Transparent, real-time reporting• Income and expense projections• Market-based rent increase strategies, not guessworkProfessional management protects your investment, reduces downtime, and maximizes long-term returns.

I got an alert about Gwinnett being mentioned and decided to see what the talk was about :)

At the same time I know real estate is something I need to get serious about and not waiting on things to happen or over analyzing deals.

You don’t need to rush, consistency and smart due diligence will compound over time.

I'm dialing in my own process & prepping a sale very soon and I'd love to hear what's worked (or what dead ends) for others in real-world sales. thanks in advance!
