It also encouraged me to pick a strategy instead of succumbing to the "shiny ball syndrome" of getting excited about every strategy that I hear about on the podcast or read about in a book.If you want the bare minimum for your plan, I would suggest you include your Mission (what are your intentions), Goals (where you want to be), Strategy (how you intend to accomplish your goals), Criteria (how you will evaluate your deals to reduce risk of loss), Financing (how you intend to pay for your investments), Exit Strategy (how will you make money or cap losses when things don't according to plan), and a few example deals to show proof of concept to lenders and potential partners.https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investin...I hope this helps and good luck!

Does anyone struggle with 'Black Friday' syndrome in the winter like I do? 

The adjustable spreadsheet syndrome is why people come to hate wholesalers.

. :( I'm very new to this but have been addicted to the podcast, I've listened to over half of them now but I think all the info is giving me a sort of shiny object syndrome and I'm dying to meet up with some like minded individuals.

I say this because it was at a similar stage that we got "shiny object syndrome" where we got bored with the same old, same old of buy-and-hold. 

I just broke through the Analysis Paralysis syndrome and I've been hitting the Streets searching for those sweet deals.

You sir, have a case of the JOT syndrome.

@Pyrrha Rivers don't fall into the "gotta-do-a-deal-itius" syndrome.

Martin  You have elephant hunting syndrome being impressed with 30 properties which are probably overpriced while the owner is searching for a fool, that's my impression.And, there isn't room from his price to buy and close and resell wholesaling properly but if you try the guru way, that's a big target to be noticed by regulators and a good way to get skinned with a real buyer of a portfolio. 

Borrower suffer from what I refer to as “ostrich syndrome” – when life problems mount up they stick their head in the ground.
