the saddest part is that several of the 60 will drink the koolaid and pay the massive stupid tax!

Now, im going to take massive action and make it my reality! 

I have read or heard more than once that mistakes and fear are pretty normal.The Internet is so massive today so you are enabled to do business from anywhere and buy from anywhere.  

Not only does that put you at risk of wasting massive amounts of time, but you may end up being known as the buyer that doesn't close, which could harm your ability to see other deals earlier than other investors.

Especially if you are talking multifamily units.In the next twelve months, we have the goal of 10 flips/wholesales netting an average $20k profit.That should double every twelve months and once at the point of seven-figure liquidity, we have our eyes on commercial and massive multifamily units.With the growth rate of North Texas and the lovely business friendly state governance we have, it should continue for the foreseeable future.

If this RC expansion goes through, I think there is going to be a massive wave of evictions, rent hikes, and pulling properties off the rental market and turning them into alternative use (like condos, short-term rentals) to get around new regulations.  

The reason im here on BP is for Cash flow, as long as i can buy bellow market or add some value and refy i should be happy. im not expecting massive growth.

And they don't blow the breaker ever.Wiring old plaster requires planning and methodical work if you don't want to be doing massive repairs.

With multiple units or an MFU, the monthly NOI averages out and unless you have a fire or massive exodus, monthly issues don't much matter.Controlling expenses and vacancies will be the major items.At YE(year end) tax time is when you see the effects of your efforts.
