Embrace the process.

Embrace the possible crash!

It's usually safer to find a community that already allows them, as it's unlikely they're going to backtrack on all the new income sources they're loving.I think it's even safer to find a community that embraces them. 

I walked a couple of investors a few weeks ago when I started to try to penetrate the residential market, there are three issues that I encountered, 1) most of them don't know what they want, not even a floor plan with scope of work, which renders the bids from us contractors like comparing an orange, an apple and a rotten grape. 2) They want the best contractor with the cheapest price, the best quality and to be done yesterday.

It may have been an excuse - regardless of what it was, I now find myself much further along and I am embracing the old me that was willing to take on those risks.

Set For Life by Scott Trench is a good resource for embracing frugality to prepare yourself to invest.Feel free to connect with me whenever.  

As a value add and opportunistic investor my strategies for market penetration have traditionally swayed away from capturing a simple spread driven yield.

If they don't, it'll be far better to have a pro-active and uncomfortable convo with Aunt now and be well served in real estate instead of embracing comfort and having harder emotions to deal with down the line.Keep asking questions where others blindly "do" and you'll be unstoppable in all things!

Embrace the problems, learn from them, and be better prepare for your future deals!
