But in general I managed my time well enough to that I multi tasked, took advantage of down time (took textbook to dentist office and prepared for exam while waiting, etc.).Now that school is over and all my units are rented/sold/bought or whatever, this summer I can relax a bit.

Having done it for 35+ years, I guarantee extreme down times that weigh heavily on ones soul.  

This will minimize your downtime waiting on the government and banks.Second: IF the deal is as good as it sounds, the lender should be able to recognize this and be much more open to working with you.

Downtime and loss of rent was kept to a minimum.

Been following the site for probably a year now but had some down time with a little one's arrival.

Great use of down time and the BP podcasts are some of the best around.You can also buy the books on tape of brandon's new book.

I had assumed I would wait until the property was actually mine, but of course that means I'll have quite a bit of down time before we start getting bookings. 

In my downtime on lunch or breaks I check the MLS an any alerts that I setup for new deals. 

Marketing in the down times will definitely reward you in the long run.

There is a food truck somewhere downtime that has aunthentic veitnamese Banh Mi Sandwiches (or Mendocino Farms if you don't mind the price),  Places like Pho Co???
