Fast forward two months, and now the property is rented out, so I decided it was time to refinance.

Would pool this "fund" of capital along with my own to be able to do multiple deals at a time.

But in my experience, you would be better off spending that same amount of time/hustle working a second part-time job with guaranteed income, then investing in buy-and-hold properties. 

Take your time and look for other financing strategies with less risk.

There are ways of buying a property to get around seasoning time requirements.

So, now that you got your losses and failures done - and congratulations by the way because I can't think it could go any more wrong - now you can start over.So yes, get those properties sold and do this right this time.

For that and time saved setting that up ourselves, PCS was worth the cost for us. 

True story about my mentor- On one occasion I asked him why does he contribute so much of his time and knowledge to my journey. 

You’ve already got a solid foundation—understanding market trends, deal structuring, and negotiations will give you a great head start.I would recommend focusing on learning one niche at a time.

The seller is out of state and even visited the project a few times to check on the progress which I think helped him feel good about the whole deal as well. technology made the whole process a lot easier in the interim.
