Likewise, title companies are next once the block chain network is finally set up and normal in our country.

Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

You were scared and probably had analysis paralysis, but your post is half acceptance of your own failure and half blaming the market.

Progress is slow as we plod into the final week. 

If there is anything I could do (drive by, analysis/insight on the area) I would be glad to help.

To succeed, focus on properties in high-demand neighborhoods like Pecan Grove or Aliana, and ensure your cash flow analysis accounts for high property taxes, potential HOA restrictions, and flood insurance costs.

Finally found this one and took advantage of the low interest rates by winning the bidding war with an offer slightly above asking price.

Finally after one year I started getting monthly dividends of 1% annually.

I've finally found an auction property I'm interested in, and I’m ready to make a move!
