Sounds like you already have much more skill and experience at your disposal than the average investor does getting started.

So performance for now is really, in my opinion, not very indicative of anything except the skill or lack thereof of being able to make sure they don’t lose money from stupid mistakes and/or get enough volume without hurting their lending standards.

In turn, I will develop skills so I can contribute back.

I will admit it – I was hungry- I wanted more but I didn’t have the skills or experience to do it on my own, I didn’t want another job - I was sacred –  I was sold on all the propaganda about real estate riches and continued to search for that magic formula.That was over 40 years ago - as I think back about all those programs - I realized that my intuition, creativity, imagination or the pure synergism of all that information enable me to create hybrid formulas of my own – formulas that helped me avoid conventional financing, credit approvals, cash down payments, real estate agents, gate keeps and those others who wanted to delay my progress of making money in real estate.

They are just one source of information and it may not be accurate or may not even apply to you, your personality/skills/abilities, and particular goals.  

It also depends on how skilled you are at assigning a rough budget.
