However, right now my head is spinning because Im trying to lock down somewhat of a standard way of doing things as it pertains to seller financing. 1.

It took five months from close to getting the first unit rented.I sunk $162k into this project, and had an appraisal of $172k - meaning I left $40k in the deal and lost my f---ing shirt.Real estate investors are an annoyingly optimistic bunch, so I’ll try to put positive spin on this; Rent is $1795 total, so the cash flow should be decent.

This should have been super simple, really, it's not half the craziness it seems to be spinning out as. 

If you scale that business, you'll likely be able to spin off cash that you can use to start investing.  

@Ryan FaheyThis post is not too offend anybody but just reading the first sentence my head is already spinning.

The Bro Investor, following the model, will be destroyed when the market spins down and then they will be asking why no one had the nerve to tell them how dumb they were acting and call them out on bad strategies.The thing new investors need now, more than ever, is the truth.

Took 4 years to clear up all the issues and spin off separate homes along a river in a highly sought area just outside of town.

There is "spin" and then there are "lies."

The water meters in use here have a small spinning piece on them that will show movement with even the slightest amount flow. 

I have seen this done for ultra high end, very exclusive places but not low end.If you are worried about spinning your wheels on one-to-one showings, do bulk showings instead.
