For instance, in 2021, I did almost 0 cold calling.  

Driving around, cold calls, google maps, agents etc...

Now the fed choose to press the brake as inflation is sticky at 3%, we would see what's going in 2025.but from the fed mandate to reduce inflation, they want the rent growth to be flattened, so they would sacrifice the CRE (aka equity ownership). this is way also why lp investor has to invest in common sense, if the boss want the rent to be reduced, don't go against the boss.... just don't invest.

When you’re pressed for time or eager to start a project and need things to move faster, consider outsourcing tasks for efficiency.Overall, I think you should go back to the drawing board, build a specific and optimized list, and market to it consistently.

Im concerned that the bad press they have been getting over last 5-8 years about killing Americans will make it worse.

If it doesn't make sense, and you have no pressing need to get out of your existing loan, then I would wait.

If you still have cold feet, let’s go we’re going to sell you a house and make you money and you’re gonna get the bug.

When I was growing my first real estate portfolio of small MF properties, I kept a list of non-pressing items that needed to be addressed at the properties.

You cannot back out simply because a better deal came along, or you got cold feet, or you weren’t going to make the money you thought you were going to make, or whatever. 

My goal is to buy properties in both Florida and Michigan so that I can escape the cold MI winter and hot FL summers.
