I’m sure many of us will be walking around with impostor syndrome at the convention. 😎 

So get clear on what you need from a tool and what things you will not sacrifice to protect yourself from shiny object syndrome.

This represents another potential post-acquisition expense.The room(s) at the front of the house suffer from "big blank wall syndrome".

And anyone who is out of state goes to the top of the list of people to call  you know burnt out landlord syndrome.

I think that's part of why I'm getting thrown for a loop with shiny object syndrome.

@Nathan SpradlinAh shiny object syndrome - I know it well.

All of them will have strengths and weaknesses and none will do EVERYTHING that you need:Zoho ProjectsWrikePodioSmartsheetBuilder TrendMS Project Basecamp TeamworkHere are a couple of things to keep in mind, especially if you are working in a team:Cloud based PM software allows for easy collaboration and access anywhereDon't suffer from "Shiny Object Syndrome" (just pick one and go, yes, there will always be a newer, fancier one, but constantly worrying about it will give you analysis paralysis and you just need to get your projects done)Make sure it has a mobile app so you can work on the goDon't spend too much money!

It's super easy to get "shiny object syndrome" and be convinced that the next interview you hear is the way to go.

every market in the mid west deals can be had... and you can get the general feel of a market right on the internet.. also skip the brokers to start and go straight to PM in the markets you want to work in.. they are your lifeline... thats what I always do.. they will then either do some brokerage work. ( this is how I set up my cleveland vendor the PM we picked and liked in Cleveland also has a sales side so he is getting the inventory for us as well, some of it from his clients that are suffering burned out landlord syndrome, some of it his listings and the rest straight off of MLS.. to date I don't think we have dealt with a wholesaler in that market.. and you being a broker probably know the risk of using a wholesaler there are some good ones for sure but there are many that are beginners and simply will waste an inordinate amount of your time.. so caution there.Once you interview 3 PM's in your market you want to work.. and they are the one's on the firing line they will tell you straight up what rents will be etc etc .. what areas are super tough to work or even better areas they won't work because the tenant base is so tough or its a war zone.  

Analysis paralysis is a totally normal syndrome for a new buyer/investor.
