But I'm still very green on the market.

@Jonathan Greene - Thanks for the introduction!

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: New builds in Florida are a smart option because they will have much lower insurance right now, but that also means the cash flow will be lower and appreciation stunted for a while.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: What do you mean the realtor gave you an estimate for listing at $199k?

@Jonathan Greene   Thank you so much for these tips.

I drink a greens shake, cut down on coffee and supplemented with mushroom coffee, and limit my refined sugar sweets to special events like parties and celebrations.I'm no underwear model, but I feel like this routine gives me the energy I need to keep moving right now.

Then later today the investor chose to include me in a group text he has created with other people on the road leading to the housing project about how great of a victory it is that he’s gotten the dumpster moved and that he will be cleaning up the space and planting grass and greening it up come summer.

I'll keep practicing underwriting, and getting members of my "core 4" as David Greene would say, down and am excited to start this journey. 

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: While I do like new build for new investors because you get a builder's warranty, better insurance, and first take of renters, you may have to overpay right now which could hamper the scale of your investment.

People seemed more on edge, there were worse drivers and annoying drivers who honked as soon as the light turned green.
