I've done that many times in many different industries that I refuse to put the cart before the horse.

I have no monetary interest in that company, hence no horse in the race.Just tell me the rule that I broke so I can avoid the faux-pas in future posts.

Yes, you may be putting the cart before the horse.

Hello,I have been investing in real estate for a few years now (rehabs, buy & Hold), I've focused on wholesale for the last year and I'm always looking to learn, needless to say I'm very grateful to the information and the resources available here, with that being said...SCENARIO: I have a contract on a horse property in the middle of scottsdale, AZ it currently has a 1500 SFR and the lot is .85 acres.

I realize you can lead a horse to water, but my theory is that if If just 1 in 100 tenants listen or read these books and help their financial situation, it may reduce my turnovers and cost of turnovers.I'm curious as to if anyone has tried this or something similar in their welcome package.

Am I being too hesitant or is she putting the cart before the horse?  

My first vc meeting last year with the founder of a multi billion dollar fund said, "I have no idea even how to approach due diligence on this, the best thing may be is to bet on a couple horses and see who wins.". 

Did some quick math in my head and realized there's no point in taking that money out of the money market fund now when I can do it next month.Not sure what I'll earn in the MM fund in 30 days, but I drive past the tax office about 3 times a week so it won't even cost me a stamp to pay in January.Not much, kind of picking nickels out of horse s**t, but every little bit helps.all cash

When we talk about bringing on someone, we talk about how we have to find a "horse".

We amended our contract 23K below the asking price and never heard from the seller's agent again.I guess I should title this, how $250 saved me $20,000.Now, I'm not a thoroughbred RE investor (I'm a newbie), but if the community is saying a good inspection should take 2-3 hours, plus another 1 hour for miscellaneous, and it may not cost more than $100 an hour to do an inspection, shouldn't you pro's let an inspector do the work while you're tying up other deals or securing the current one, instead of running the inspection yourself?
