It doesn't even matter if it is a dropped 3rd strike and you scramble to first. 

If it's for investors, it probably needs to go deeper.I have a deep aversion to buzzwords and guru-speak, which is how the second and last sentences strikes me. 

So, it's about striking the balance that's right for you when you're ready. 

On line 14 where it states "Application of Rental Income"...it says section 1402(a) is amended by striking paragraph 1.

Seek out markets that demonstrate population growth, job growth, and favorable average household income within a five-hour radius of your location.Now, here's a reality check: as investors, we must strike a balance between emotional attachments and data-driven decisions.

It strikes me as a very fear-based way of strategizing.

This is a potential disaster waiting to happen regardless if you have heard how to strike it rich using other peoples money/property.Get a loan and buy your own properties.If you don't have any money and this is why you are trying to cut corners then start by wholesaling properties to save up enough for a down payment. 

You need to be able to strike when the deals come your way regardless of what asset it is.

I then have a 3 strike policy for if they’re caught smoking inside. 1st time is a verbal warning. 2nd time they get a certified letter warning 3rd time Eviction papers.

I think it may be an issue of the current owners never appealing or caring, but still strikes me as bizarre/insane.
