But as someone who tries to be as prepared and have as many questions answered as possible, I just cannot get past the doubts regarding the deal (there are just not any real comps, which in itself also causes me concern).For all of you successful investors out there, how many deals did you have to analyze/inspect before you finally ended up pulling the trigger?

Hello,Not sure if this is the right place for this question (if not, please let me know and I will correctly post).I currently rent out 2 homes.

Happy to answer any questions or offer advice if a need arises. 

Definitely a question for a tax attorney/accountant, especially with the dollar amounts involved. 

I am looking into a deal in Boise Idaho that I would like to ask a question about.

To your second question, DC is a tricky market to navigate but there's certainly opportunities.

What do you think of my essentially 7-word answer? "It's like selling pizza by the slice".  Too simple? Just right? How would have you answered? 

I also have questions about title and escrow companies, vtb, lawyers and accountants that deal with seller financing.
