I am a visual learner, so while the blogs, posts, articles, podcasts and books on the subject make sense, I just can’t see how this unfolds for more than a few properties.

With that being said, I wanted to reach out with my question:After I acquire 5 properties (where my goal long term goal is to acquire 10), do you recommend paying off the 5 for a year or two until the market correction unfolds or look for other types of funding?

I will add an update to this post as things unfold.  

Experience the process, live, learn and grow as it all unfolds!

I'd be happy to share my experiences on watching these things unfold and on local Indianapolis players.  

With that said, I'm looking forward to working with him and seeing where things go 😊report back once you have some history with this Mentor/Coach will be interesting to see how it unfolded  Positive or Negative 

Cant wait to see how it unfolds and ready to learn a ton.  

A lot of hard money lenders today are able to lend on  auction properties depending on the circumstances, but be forewarned there could be a number of issues such as your inability to see the interior and how much it may need or the homeowner may still be present and you may have to get an ejectment after purchasing.In short, I would strongly recommend not purchasing at auctions UNLESS you're going to make it a chief strategy of yours and really put in time learning the details, going to auctions and just watching how they unfold, etc.

Emphasis is often placed on how a project unfolds instead of the end result.

I'm not saying you won't find good deals, but the margins are growing thinner and thinner...and some buyers are putting-off their decision to buy simply expecting a market correction.Personally speaking, I have sold already a portion of my portfolio and I am cautious now, expecting for the market conditions to unfold and ready for the opportunities to come when asset prices go back to a "healthier" level.
