(Assumable loan, Waterfalls/Hurdles, Ability to model a JV) I've come across "Synthesis" by Sharpline Equity.

Typically reno scope/rents/insurance/etc. are very market-specific, so building your analysis muscle for your chosen market is important so that you go in with the best possible chance to make an educated choice on purchasing.

This is just for practice for now so the most important thing is just looking at the numbers to gain an understanding, don't put too much pressure on it at this point, it's a muscle you have to build by doing reps. 2.

Your muscles will be sore every day, you will see people doing much better than you, and you will constantly fail.

So for me in majority part I am just scratching an itch, and I am exercising a muscle. 

As Brandon Turner, one of the BP OG's advises, evaluate at least 10 properties per week to see if they are worth investing in/flipping/whatever your focus is because this builds your "investor muscles" so you will know a good deal when it comes up.

Wife is the brains, I'm just the muscle..and not a lot of that, lol.

That would be Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Muscle Shoals.

Manpower, muscle!

Union or not, many consider places like Decatur, Muscle Shoals, and even Birmingham or Nashville home.
