Here are the things I do daily to stay motivated to reaching my goals:1. 35 minutes running, 30 minutes lifting weights daily.

The scoring is weighted toward the high end, though, so even 650 credit scores are still bad.

I personally put more weight into those posts from people who've been through at least one downturn in the market vs. those who've only been riding the wave of this current run up.  

Cash is king, and you're in a good position - just be patient, but acquire the knowledge to be ready to pull the trigger when you see a deal.In addition to learning about real estate, knowing the basics of personal finance is worth it's weight in gold.  

@William Robison   thank you for a reality check on the reality of certain tenant demands and what you will and won't do form a professional that is in the trenchs daily. anyone considering buying rentals should have someone like William give them a second opinon other than just listening to who is selling the property to you.. a good PM is worth their weight.

Doing so will better reflect your cost of money over the term.This is pretty much why I don't get excited over landlords or investors speaking about cap rates and cash on cash returns, to be accurate, you need to look at the blended or weighted contributions to the deal.

Are you thinking that my suggestion that BRRRR might work in Columbus carries little weight since we've not successfully completed one?

Your two cents were worth it's weight in gold.Thanks once again.

A good PM is worth their weight in gold.

I personally weight #4 above all since this will be my time wasted.
