My theory is I might as well use my own money to buy my own prop and manage it than run around like a crazy person trying to muscle up other people's property to manage.

Prior to this deal, I was analyzing 10 properties a week to build up my brain muscles.

The warm water helps relax muscles from sitting through endless Zoom calls, or just the stress of life.

I became an investor to flex my creative muscles for getting deals done, thus I don't appreciate being restricted by rules and CC&R's that dictate how I run my business.

There should probably be another education section jammed in between Goals 4 and 5 on REI start up companies and everything that comes along with running it.  6) Grow my portfolio - As the years pass and i start to master the ins and outs of rental properties i will want to flex the brain muscle and expand my company.  

Someone may argue they lift weights to get muscles, but the muscles are only a means to an end.

I think you'd be better off partnering with someone who has the experience and financial muscle to do this deal and learn from them while getting a piece of the pie.

I've had people to quit working for me 2 hours after they started due to getting sick and not being able to handle the work conditions of plumbing and sewer work.......It is not for a person with a weak stomach or weak muscles.

We make a good team, he's the muscle and money man and I run the numbers, schedule showings, and make the design decisions. 

I'd like to do the same thing as you (start analyzing a TON of deals), so that I can build that deal analysis "muscle memory", so that I'll actually be able to pick out a the great deals when I see them.
