.#2: Soft Skills - If your soft skills could use improvement, start working those muscles now.

I have an investor friend in the muscle shoals, Florence AL area that's still undervalued, but a lot of investors are discovering this place.

Once you've got some muscle memory built and you've practiced some of that deal analysis you'll start to spot these - a good agent who knows multi-family and invests themselves can also help here. 

According to him, exercising your "idea" muscle is like any other muscle in your body.

Making your own calculator can help you simplify everything and build muscle-memory so you can spot a deal when you see one. 

congratulations @Shaun Caldwell , way to use the hustle muscle.

But I muscled through the problems, and am kind of wishing I'd not stopped buying while I sorted through them because I was buying right!

I have a degenerative muscle disease that is slowly weakening my arms and legs so I'm hoping to retire in 15-20 years, and also have enough income to help my kids thru college.

I started with a mentor and just went out and do it, muscle memory.

And they have empty lots, so they essentially control the supply of homes and could flex their muscle to keep us from filling our lots.
