I understand this might be counter intuitive if you want to pay it off quicker but you can always pick the lower payment which may be a longer term but you can always pay extra and pay down your student loan quick as the higher payment option.

Like Rick mentioned a lot has to do with WHO you chose to work with and it sounds so weird but intuition and checking their credibility is important.

Seems counter intuitive to start out with residential MFR investing considering the majority of my experience is with commercial properties, but this path, and particularly the recent deal we acquired, was set-up to be stable & cash flowing from day one.

They offer an APP that is intuitive and I actually used the time stamps as a "time clock" to keep track of time invested.

While some of it is very intuitive there are other parts that are not.

You intuitively answered some key questions.

Besides not having to worry (as much) about tools and equipment being stolen, the values are higher on the back end (selling) so it makes the whole project easier or at least more enjoyable to work on.You can certainly do rehabs in tough areas but the #s will be smaller (not to rehab, but on the ARV and rents) so you really need to make sure you don't pay too much when you buy because, if you're not used to the area, you may be unpleasantly surprised by smaller #s on the back end.Another thing is that, somewhat counter-intuitively, sometimes the building inspectors in tough areas are actually pretty tough/demanding themselves.

It's just not as easy to use, intuitive and useful.

The more I know and the better my intuitive understanding of what your goals are and where you are at is, the more likely it is that the right guideline or mortgage solution is going to bubble to the top.

This ties in with having discipline—knowing when to hold back, lie in wait, and then intuitively knowing when to say, now is the time to act.Knowledge of people.
