In the 6th month, I can say I made some mistakes, when first starting I spent a bit too much money to start the Airbnb, as this was my first deal I paid a little too much for rent for the type of airbnb it is.

My lender seems to have done a little mistake and my father who is co-signing was never told he has to be down here for the signing which was suppose to happen today at 1:00 and it cannot happen without a wet signature from him.

Biggest mistake I made was not keeping 50 or so more of the 500 I flipped, cost me millions, All the best  My last 3 multi families 2429 nw 81 3/2+ 3/2 purchased at 385 October 2441 nw 81  3/2+ 3/2 purchased at 400 October 441 nw 44th 3/2+2/1 purchased at 280 August again there’s deals , you just have to look.

In retrospect, did I overpay or make a mistake with the purchase?
