If you are playing the long game, which you should with rental real estate you will come out ahead. 

Hi Matan, great you are thinking about investing at this early stage of your career, you are ahead of 90% of doctors, who historically are not the savviest of investors.

They are after the mortgage; however, property tax liens typically jump ahead.

fresh real-time data is ESSENTIAL if you want you and your investors to stay ahead of the curve and know trends before they are widely spread, which in turn will make your investors happy which will make you look like a safe bet in their eyes, so real time data is IT 

Looking ahead, I'm optimistic about the trajectory of the investment and eager to see its continued growth and performance over the next few years.

You will literally never get a good product from guys like this.Second -  Never, never. never let the Contractor get ahead of you in the progress payments.

Personally I'm not a fan of getting pressured into a deal - if you don't feel good about rushing into the deal, it's better to back out.

I own a home but know that the journey ahead of me is entirely different.

I personally learned by trial and error as you suggested, but it took years to get any traction and I could have definitely been way ahead if I have leveraged the ability to learn from others who had successfully made it before me.

What is the rush, especially if she is still gonna live there?
