But, as I reflected on the experience I realized that many other people contributed to us reaching this point.I want to acknowledge the strength of community – and touch on a small portion of how the community helped us.

Depending on your goals, personality, strengths and limitations make a decision that will help you meet your goals and build a team that is like minded.I will say this about turnkeys and deferred maintenance--when I buy a tk property it has been completely renovated so I like to hold onto it for about 5 years and then sell it around the time it is going to start needing updates and bigger expenses.

You need to figure out your own niche and utilize your strengths and minimize dealing with your weaknesses.

@Oren Elbaz , you mentioned amenities and renovations.How about finding the projects you can do well, and narrowing your niche by targeting properties that need your strengths. 

My wife and I (Through many conversations) were able to work through what our strengths were and to trust each other in them.

I would suggest using your strengths as insurance analyst and your passion in real estate to get conversions going and you might be surprised where it may lead you!

@Joe Garvin I hope that you will be safe during the hurricane, as it moves more and more inland, it's suppose to lose strength so if you moved north 2 hours, then I think you should be okay.

You will see this sometimes when there are known issues and the seller doesn't have the resources or the "mental strength" to deal with the process anymore.If you want to proceed further, make sure you speak to your lawyer about what's needed.

What are his strengths and weaknesses?  

All,I'm pretty amazed at the collective strength of such an amazing community.
