Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.

Are you proficient on market research and analysis?

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

A lot of this content was produced in the mid stages of a vacation rental frenzy, and those concepts don’t necessarily work any more.

Quote from @Jon Martin: Do an enemy analysis.

McKinney and Princeton have been growing a lot and it is a good place to invest, but it is always related to what you are looking to achieve in a rental investment, appreciation or cash flow.At this time that area does not offer a big cash flow and due to the amount of development going on there, rental demand has declined a bit.In any case you have to make an analysis case by case.

If this were my property, I’d run a detailed rental analysis (from what I’ve read in Forbes) to see if the short term route could outpace traditional leasing.

Most cost segregation firms will provide a free cost/benefit analysis quote to help you determine if the tax benefits from the study will outweigh the costs.

My wife and I were in analysis paralysis for sure, but then the academy dropped and we were sure we wanted to get into RE, but didn’t know how and this course was WAY cheaper than comps that ultimately just try and sell you a conference that just tries to sell you… on and on plus like you said, we got most of our money back and got to keep the material.
