Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

@Kenyatta Barthelemy it sounds like you are doing the right things to get educated and meet knowledgable people. 

These appraisers are too educated as in general this rule is virtually never applied on MF lots (I have heard of it once).  

Their team builds thousands of homes each year for investors, giving us access to great pricing, exclusive opportunities, and expert guidance.They’ve made the whole process so much easier, from connecting us with top lenders and management teams to offering tax-saving strategies and educational resources.

BP is a great place for education and networking. 

Prices are currently high, so we’re looking to educate ourselves on how to find a good deal.

If not, then you are not ready and you need more education/mentoring.Good Luck - You can do this!

But if you see the value in investing money into your own personal education, then maybe this could be a good fit for you.

We have education in real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance.  

My education background is in computer science, mathematics and some corporate finance, as well as have some internship experience in the quantitative finance space.
