Because my daughter has Down Syndrome (the third person in our picture), some of her adult friends live in Section 8 housing.

I suffer from analysis paralysis syndrome and am constantly listening to podcasts, self help books, like some on this forum.

So many young (and older) people suffer from what I call "white picket fence" syndrome, ie: buy the best house they can almost not afford and then be married to their job for the next 30 years to pay for it.You guys are already ahead of the game.

B and Lower you have wear and tear.I have almost never given a deposit back EVER in 3 decades of owning rentals.but I do suffer from burnt out landlord syndrome and am selling all my rentals and repositioning into investment grade partnerships and Debt.

How do you avoid the shiny object syndrome?

I have a gift for each of them, but the ostrich syndrome is in effect.

The key is to not get shinny object syndrome and move away from what you've decided is your best strategy. 

I'll admit shiny object syndrome influenced my next purchase a bit.

Shiny object syndrome aside, its been a journey browsing the million different ways to get rich off real estate.

Don't have shiny object syndrome before you do your first deal or two.
