I work full time as well, have a family and I'm a newbie -- it does take some time management but I've found that if I prioritize what I need to accomplish in order to make my RE goals, I eliminate the things that distract from that.

If they OWN your type of property, they will prioritize the good tenants for themselves.

Moving this lady and demolishing the block seems like it was the right move, but it certainly should have been done in a more collaborative and responsible way.  

Nevertheless, we're always looking to connect with folks in the DMV area in the event that we do spot opportunities for collaboration! 

Which, to me, is a weird thing to say in a real estate forum because, well, real estate is also expensive and sold by sales people lol.Velocity Banking is more the swapping of debts and the prioritization of cash flows to paying off debt.

Prioritize them.  

I will shoot you a message now, and maybe we can collaborate on figuring out a way to systematize this for the markets we are mutually interested in.

I am glad that we can all come together and collaborate on Essex County opportunities. 

Financial decisions, especially of this magnitude, should be collaborative.

In the long term, I wish to escape the 9-5 engineering grind by breaking into the larger multi-family market and pursuing a full-time real estate investing career.I look forward to collaborating with and learning from each of you.
