I figured it had to be a bit higher (~20%) to leverage some risk.

I quickly figured out duplexes aren't the greatest for cash flow so I sold it a few years later and started investing in RI.

I’m aware it’s never about quick cash or retiring in the matter of years. im just trying to figure out the ways to retire earlier than 60 and not working for someone else making them wealthier at my expense. 

I’ve seen people buy land thinking water was covered only to find out they had to pay 6 figures to get water re-routes or upgrade pump stations.

Still figuring out the price point.

This purchase exemplifies the commit and then figure it out philosophy.

As an example I was looking at a multi unit, smaller building and within 90 seconds of viewing the proforma I saw the maintenance/repair figures were "low".

Hey Jonathan, Best way to learn is to go to every meet up you can and ask a tons of questions and listen to the stories of experiences investors to figure out which route you want to take in your journey.

Read those relevant parts and figure out how far in advance you must give eviction notice, how to handle evictions with no lease, etc.2.

The coaches help you level up and scale from where you are now to where you want to be; not because they're perfect and have everything figured out, but because they are a little further on the path and have a systematized method for growing your business.But I will say it's not a good fit for everyone.
