Nope, not saying to slow down at all...Just saying that you need to prioritize appropriately if you really plan to do as many deals as you've stated.

Prioritize your research: 1- ACTUAL gross income collected examine this carefully and determine for yourself the quality of this income (late pays, turnover, eviction record,etc)2- examine expenses- Concentrate on the accuracy of the most significant expenses- are they higher/lower than they should be?

[Considering you have a property that is "just breaking even (hopefully)", you definitely need to prioritize building cash reserves.]Now that you've got cash reserves, this is what I think you should do: Use any cash flow from your properties to pay its own mortgage down (this way the property pays for itself).

Prioritize the action steps based on the resources you have now and the resources you need to obtain.

I think the fear of a crash is a legitimate one, and for that reason, even more than normal, I prioritize cash flow over appreciation and don’t look to over leverage myself.

I prioritized closing my first apartment deal over shopping for a competitive rate and, honestly, I had no idea what kind of coverage I needed. 

I love to collaborate.

In order for us regular investors to still find opportunities after all these massive events and changes, we're going to have to work together and utilize pooled resources, creative financing, sweat equity and collaborative development projects. 

He has resources in that area as well he can share and collaborate with you on. 

One of my all-time favorites is Essentialism, by Greg Mckeown, the book completely changed my life, the biggest thing it teaches you is how to remove the non-essentials from your life, the quote "less is more" is referenced because it means that by getting rid of the unimportant things in your life you actually have more time and better time to do the things that actually matter, it explains how most people believe that being "busy" is productive but it is actually not, only when you learn the mantra that If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will. can you truly be Essential.
