A Pro Forma on Rent Collections is not my cup of tea.

Southern hospitality, Sweet tea, Land, Lakes, what America is all about. 

Good deals can be found, even in the lower priced areas, if that's your cup of tea, but I do recommend to keep away from the bargain cave high crime areas, becaue you get what you paid for it, maybe even less.

Do a search for your area and message at least 10 people each week to meet for coffee/tea.

Not my cup of tea. 

We treated ours with the mindset we were buying a SFH that we could pay for, in an area we liked, THEN we weren't in trouble if we didn't like being landlords.A year or two after, you can sell the property if its not your cup of tea, or you can trade up to a property that has better numbers.

Not even close.Its money that is taken away from you, money you could be using to spend on an amazing vacation, an enjoyable and rare tea/wine/whisky, invest, increase passive monthly income, build a school in a 3rd world country, give to charity, etc. 

I would hire a highschooler and pay them $12 an hour and be better off.I find that I have more passion about closing the transaction than anyone I could hire and I think the value is in the relationship that gets established on the phone call, such that I prefer to make the calls myself sitting around the pool with an ice tea in hand.

A simple, "...after closer inspection, this property isn't necessarily my cup of tea.
