If you can just make sure you are buying right, everything else falls into place eventually.There are markets that perform better than others, but unless you are holding long-term or building rentals, you shouldn't really care too much since flipping is all about buying at the right price for that market:

The investor in me has to be wiser about the decision and not worry about sentiment, look to reinvest in something else that will perform better for my family's future. 

@Kyle Carter we manage around 700 doors, with 92 of them being S8.When S8 applicants are properly screened, they can statistically perform a decent amount better than cash-tenants.

I've been watching Chad Carson's videos and his approach of accumulating more properties than you need, then start using that income to pay off mortgages and cull the lower performing properties makes sense to me. 

Tough to stay disciplined as "Past performance is no guarantee of future results". 

There is a potential scenario where an outside rescue fund (marketed as preferred equity to new investors) could come into play in many of the projects that appear to be performing especially if they have been paying the pref (via a reserve account stockpiled by over raising funds in the beginning).

I have worked my entire career in construction and last 2 years performing entitlements, permitting, and construction for industrial developments along the Wasatch.

You can determine what a decent salary would be for someone in your market and then reverse-engineer to see if what you're paying as a salary, plus the projected performance commission, will get you there.

Do you have a rent roll for at least the last 2 years, so you can see how it has performing?

Are there other notes you feel perform better than these?
