Turns out in some cases comps were overly optimistic, in others inspections contradicted BPO’s, and in more than a few cases the closing date was so close to submission dates that we simply didn’t have time to do common sense due diligence.

I have to stop being such an optimist!

For agents @James Lucenti or I could help (and you can see James is much more optimistic, haha!).

Right now my head is swimming with all this new content, but I'm optimistic that things will eventually slow down.

I go to various conferences where I meet young people who hustle, are smart enough, who educate and who are optimistic in their future finances.  

All these providers have in-house PM and have already done major capex so I think I've minimized my risk as best as I can, but again this is as much about the education as anything else so I'm trying to keep that in mind.Anyway, I look forward to this experiment with excitement and I'm cautiously optimistic it will go well.
