I constantly get distracted when I saw a cheaper one, and forget my eyes on the newer homes. 

I got distracted making a good income while also building a company.Currently I have 10 doors.

The bad part about real estate is that you have a ton of options (read distractions).

@Kayla Wagenmann from personal experience I can't start something and not try to do my best in it.Having a Realtor's license has certainly hurt my other business and sometimes distracts me from my own investing.That being said I love doing it and will continue to do it.

X" out all the distractions and hire accordingly !

Do not waiver and do not get distracted.

When in times of deep introspection like this I’ve found it helpful to get some headspace for a couple days without work distracting me.

But then distractions and comfort came.

I think I would do better with hands on and personal training as I get distracted when going through Web videos etc.   

Use the 1% rule as a starting point to cut out all the “distraction” properties and get you honed in on the profitable properties and areas within those sub markets.Then, when you have your financing together, find someone who has a great property and great tenants and great return, and buy the house next door.
