If duties were merely split between operations, capital raising and deal sourcing based on individuals strength and to spread responsibilities, I would be more understanding but that's not the new age model.

Failing to follow proper procedures will cause even more delays.  

Yep, I already knew that I won’t retire by my job ages before I started working, this job is just the pathway for me to open my own business.

Remember to always budget 10-25% (depending on age/condition) extra as a buffer.

Unfortunately, you may have a hard time enforcing anything about "guests" unless policy/procedures are outlined in your lease.  

@Bliss Hu,At your age, you’re well ahead of the curve. $300,000 is more than enough to acquire your first property, even in New Jersey.

I am not saying that to brag, the reason I say it is we all wish we could get into real estate at a younger age - but we are all different and depending on your level of risk, sometimes being patient is not a bad thing as its a marathon not a sprint.  

It's like they built their platform in the Bronze Age and its been held together with duct tape ever since. 

I did that in my teens in age and early twenties hopping to the next greatest thing that would appear to make you richer faster and with less work.

I am always blown away with sticker shock whenever faced with today's prices so it is partly because of my age.
