But for now I’m thinking of buying and holding, or partner up with another investor for fix and flips or other projects (In AZ).I bring positive energy, problem solving mentality, capital, time, management skills.

Sometimes it scares me when I see people with that mentality who clearly don't understand business and yet want to take such a costly route trying to reach success without knowing what to do.

I know they will not as this guy is extremely mentally unstable and getting his fix constantly.

@Ahmed Habib wholesaling works or there wouldn't be so many people doing it; I agree with some of the others; you need to approach sellers with a 'problem-solving' mentality; if you focus on helping the seller with their needs, you will have much better success.

As for people who piled and overpaid in a small handful of markets based on herd mentality and "only invest in vacation markets" advice, yeah, I agree with this post.

Many have an entitlement mentality and scam the system for everything they can.Now this is a bit harsh.

I think a lot of people have the mentality that being a Property Management Company's client or a Realtor's client is like buying a T-Shirt.

These days its too much ¨us and them¨ mentality.

@Noah Bacon, as I look at properties, the 1% is an automatic mental metric that I think about most times but never rely on, especially regarding multifamily.

I know several people here adopt the negative cash flow mentality but Iḿ not one.
