It's essentially a business plan with a sample deal that portrayed the projected returns for my investors.Thanks, Mark!

Do not wait for the 30 days.A couple of options to raise money: If you receive at any given time a return during tax season.

Commercial properties tend to yield higher returns but come with more complexity, higher risk, and longer vacancy periods, making them better suited for experienced investors.

I see it like a seesaw - less work, less returns but also less stress.

You can overcome this by putting more down, which reduces you ROE and COC return, but if the appreciation is good enough you can make up for this with overall returns over time as rents increase and the property appreciates.

Jumping into a deal just because it feels like you "need" to can be tempting, but as your story highlights, it doesn’t always lead to the returns we hope for no matter how hard we try and convince ourselves that we know everything, it is like the universe pushing the other way around against us.I especially appreciate your point about really knowing your market.

My personal opinion is that any time is the right time to invest if you can find opportunities that meet your Return on Investment goals.

A lot of these numbers of what I have pulled from the real estate listing, and inquiring on property management/landlord insurance rates.I am not looking to make a fortune overnight and realize this would be a slow return on investment/passive income.

I know that in different areas you can expect different returns in cashflow and appreciation.

I will say that the skip tracing with DealMachine does not return accurate phone numbers most of the time, but I have gotten some working numbers.Also, PropStream costs $99 per month whereas you can use the DealMachine features for $49 per month.
