More and more I've been reading showing instructions as well that "No blind offers will be accepted, seller won't play the bid high then drop after inspection game".

Most of us were blind before this book.

, but in the long run when many of those people with massive labor paid mortgages and multiple labor paid car payments are working blindly forever to pay are looking at you saying "oh he must have gotten lucky somehow", youll know the real reason, that you sacrificed the shiny stuff and made your money work for you.  

Think of blind lady justice holding her scale, one side is risk, one side is coc return.

Also I've been studying REI for about month so don't follow my advice blindly you'll go broke lol

There were tenant-owned blinds in the window prior to this.

There are a few good ones, but you better do your due diligence and don't just blindly pick one in town.  

So, not having the time is no excuse as most spend much more time trying to learn systems while the blind are leading the blind on the internet.

I will happily guide you but if you getting cold feet it's probably good to back out, I consider my self a pretty smart investor, when it comes to buying income property but when it came to buy my personal home I got blinded by other things and forgot that buying a house is a business transaction that you have to enjoy I didn't loose money but I haven't made a ton, like all other investment
