Discipline keeps us moving forward with quiet determination day after day while motivation and its inspiration is powerful, yet fleeting like the strike of lightning.So why do we cling to the thrilling but unreliable highs of motivation while procrastinating the unglamorous yet steady practice of discipline?

I just hope I can strike before it's too late. 

When I think about finding deals off-market, I imagine driving around and knocking on doors all day, until striking gold.3.

Again this is for extreme cases in which tenants are non-payment even after striking a new repayment agreement and which the local government is still not allowing for evictions - extreme measures for extreme cases... but just another example where uneven government intervention will come back to bite the very same people they are trying to protect.  

Save your cash and strike when the market dips.

Or maybe some tragedy strikes and you are unable to manage yourself even if you want to.  

I should clarify that the rentals in my strike zone (2-3+ bed, no HOA, Lohi/Highlands/ Wheatridge area) are in the higher price range, and I'm glad to know there are less % down options.  

I think some already mentioned were using it to meet owners and develop a relationship and if they seem to be getting tired of it they may strike a deal with you like owner financing or something, going to the local REI meetings to find those people and put your services out there, etc.

We have to strike a balance between accessibility and efficiency.

Especially during and after the pandemic, features like a working space may be striking to renters.
