Unlike me, I can't drive a nail straight and in retrospect that might be a good thing.I think/know that my time can be better spent in doing more productive/beneficial things that will enhance my business, so, I pay to get things done when it's warranted.Granted, there is a cost to doing business and I have baked that into my business model.

Common Sense Underwriting We understand that each deal has its own unique challenges and credit enhancements.

Good plan IMO except for a few things ... 1)Don't buy turnkey ... buy something where you can put in some sweat equity and force some appreciation; this will give you extra experience and also enhance your returns to scale faster/easier. 2)Do not ignore appreciation rates; cash flow day one is great, but you want to make sure you buy in a neighborhood that will hold its value and has steady, reliable rents after inflation at the least and at best increases in value; if not, then your cash flow could just be your initial investment getting trickled back to you in monthly installments while you are losing purchasing power on the property. 3)Keep your possessions down to a minimum in a smaller space; this is good financial advice anyway but doubly important if you will be moving every few years.

I am always looking for new books to enhance my real estate knowledge if you have any suggestions.
