It is amazing how much that cut down on outside noise. 

I was scared that I would flop and fail (still do today) but I continue to grind on it.

I love learning and am constantly soaking up information on investing/managing my money and while I generally like putting my money in accounts where I can let it sit and grow, I also legitimately enjoy learning about the grind that goes into real estate investing and the different ways to approach it.  

I'm not a wholesaler so I don't have an ax to grind but I don't think you should cast aspersions on someone who is doing something perfectly legal.

Be aware of things like condo rules regarding investor owned versus owner occupied units as this could effect your or your end buyers' financing possibilities, special assessments or association fees that could effect your carrying costs, condo rules regarding renovations and what owners are allowed to do or restrictions on noise or work hours.

Thanks for the mention @Nate McGee I'm glad to see my grind is not going unnoticed. 

This is good, but I imagine it is very slow...and while the legal process is grinding along, roofs are caving in and some properties are surely passing the point of no return.

This is my frustration with college - there are so many generic courses that are mandatory that you have to grind through classes you're not interested in to get to the ones that you enjoy.

I, myself, cater to investors like this that do not want to be involved in the day to day grind of owning investment properties by allowing them to buy percentages of companies that own properties.

They often have a vested interest in surrounding properties as noise, clutter or whatever is a nuisance.
