I'm super analytical so I studied real estate and read all kind of book for about 10 years before I pulled the trigger. 

Is there such a thing as being way too analytical instead of pulling the trigger?

I also don't always trust the face value of the analytics for turnkey properties, make sure you run the numbers yourself!

There is software(s) you can pay for to look at data and make an analytical decision.Go at night and during the day.

From the analytics I've seen, the majority of guests here are workers, truckers, or people traveling through. 

The properties won't be in superb condition so i am not worried too much about damage.

 Try and get data from CoStar, Crexi, and Marketedge these companies usually have real-time analytics and reporting, that helps investor understand future supply and identifying opportunities.

You might have a tougher time if your studies were in something totally different than your job (i.e. art major to data analytics job). 

We have seen superb returns on our investments as well as continued equity growth through appreciation.

It was my intention to leverage this capital as skin in the deal when a worthwhile opportunity arose and still do, but do you think it could be worth it to invest as an LP on another group’s deal FIRST (I have one in mind) to be able to have a hands on approach of the aspects of investor relations, structure, analytics, presentation, and how to handle that effectively, etc.?
