Now that that's out of the way, you don't necessarily have to be in a rush to keep taking down more properties if the numbers don't make sense, if you are unsure of the direction you want to proceed in, or if you need time to look into other strategies.Sounds like you deeply desire to work in real estate investing full time, but also feel like pursuing a higher income-earning potential as a safety net to ensure that you have the cash flow coming in to live off of as well as liquidity to make acquisitions simpler.If that is where you're at, it may make sense to shift from 50/50 or wherever your time is balanced now and go more 80/20 on your day job and lever out the REI tasks that you are doing now so that you can work on increasing your earning potential while not missing out on any screaming hot deals that may be in the pipeline.

It's not that the deal itself is inherently scammy - it's that the one thing that would make any sophisticated seller run screaming, is typically the very reason why the buyer wants to do it this way (they don't have any money).This is also the big difference between buying a business this way, and buying a house - the "why".
