Also, those are the states that people are moving to; people aren’t moving to OH.I’ve never worked with contractors: I’ll get eaten alive.Since I have never been to OH, I need to go there for myself and drive the neighborhoods to get a feel for good locations to invest.Additionally, there was concern for my lack of experience in managing the challenges of the weather in OH and properties subject to snowfall.At the time, I thought the objector was more opposed to the idea of investing in Ohio; however, in retrospect I see that she had several concerns: newbie investor + OOS + BRRR + Ohio.

I put a 75 gallon heater in my project but in retrospect it was not necessary, I just have a single tenant in each of the two units.  

I have spoken to a broker and know I can qualify for an FHA loan, I had a deal fall through for a single family I was going to purchase, in retrospect a blessing in disguise.

Yes, in retrospect I should have been adamant about collecting the rents and removing my percentage right off the top.Correct me if I'm wrong but most management firms do exactly that and also require a maintenance fund be setup (like a $300 stipend) to cover a major appliance failure so the manager doesn't incur it out of pocket.Also--they don't paint/make repairs out of that percentage fee.

I removed paneling all over the house in my previous rehab and i've got to tell you in retrospect i probably wouldn't have. it's one of those things; i slightly pulled paneling in a few places and saw the sheetrock was in good shape (needing minor patching).

In retrospect, we should have just put them in the group . . . .

First of all they are creating competition for themselves, albeit maybe on a very minute scale but still, and the compensation just isn't there in retrospect.

Here is an excerpt from an article/blog-post I wrote several years ago when I was trying to decide what type of real estate to get into (in retrospect, I still agree with most of it :):---------------------------The two most common types of rental property are residential and commercial, where the difference (very generally speaking) is the scope of the investment:Residential Real Estate: Residential real estate is just property designed as living space.

In retrospect, if the home had gone into foreclosure- wouldn't they have lost all of their $$ assuming it was the primary mortgage holder who filed?
