So thinking of making big moves. What’s your thoughts?

So me and my wife have been in the real estate game going on 3 years soon. We have 7 sfh’s and a duplex. She’s on vacation actually and I’m working like always with real estate on my mind non stop. So any how im closing on 2 properties this week at least supposed to. If titles come back all good. So a deal I had a week ago didn’t work because someone got to it faster then me. But the deal fell through and its back on the market. I’m running some numbers and seeing as far as a roof and couple other things and the numbers work. Just nervous already with 2 places but I think I have it under control. Now I’m really considering buying the 3rd house or kind of lol. Nervous though wondering if can juggle all 3 of them and get all the right people in place. Hard to keep and find reliable contractors at least not really expensive ones. What’s everything think? Would be a really big move for me I think.

@Joshua D. I would have to agree with @Charles Patterson. The numbers never Lie. But with that being said your gut is a large part of success in this business you just need a lot more experience. A well educated Gut and watching the numbers is the only way to succeed. All others fail because they allow emotion to take over the facts. Slow and steady is the way to go. Quality verses quantity. I buy 3-6 homes a month here in Pittsburgh and it has taken me 20 years to get to that position and I still find myself letting my emotions to take over for good decisions. You have to think like Mr. Wonderful from shark tank. He is a disciplined investor and values his most important asset which is time.
