Smart comment made on "not tapping into 401k."

I do agree with that.There's also been some negative comments about condos.

Quote from @Amir Rahmani: Either laminate or vinyl flooring would be a good choice. since it's cheaper I’m not a fan of carpet at all, especially for rental properties.Thank you for your comments, Amir! 

After reading everyone else's comments, I may have a controversial take, but here goes. 

Vu's comment about a preflight checklist is spot on.

to be clear, i do not know the either person I referenced personally nor invested with them, so i am not commenting on anyones character.

If anyone has good recommendations on how to start learning how to analyze deals to see if they would be worth it please leave a comment down below.

The second best comment which I also love to make but someone else beat me to it is how an appraiser values the property which is comparable sales in residential vs the income approach in CRE.

Hope something I said helps you.Maybe someone can comment: I felt like we had a good rapport going prior.

This 5 year plan allows me to test multiple different strategies of REI, learning lots along the way, and help me figure out what my "niche" is.Just thinking out loud here haha but I appreciate your comments to inspire me to further think through my real estate journey!
