But my investing style, and ultimate goals, were completely in line with what they preach so it made sense to keep studying what he/they said. 

I'll just take your info, add what I find through self study to it and go from there. 

Or I would grin and bear it and try to take the entire time of the lease remaining to study and read more about landlording.

Finally, study the loan documents.

I have been reading/studying for almost 7 years, but I have not been able to pull the trigger and jump in.

When we did the competitive rent study portion of due diligence we found there was a rent pop for a/c and right now we're trying to figure out how to install a/c permanently (powered off the tenant's meters) at a price that makes the investment feasible.

Study it as an art and you'll get the science.

Study MF and business, learn it inside and out, and then partner with an experienced MF investor your first time out.I would have answered differently a couple of years ago, but now see that scalability and a hockey stick chart pattern come quicker with MF, if done correctly.

However, most of the investors I know learned on their own, in the real world, by simply jumping into it, while reading books, attending REI clubs, and, more recently, studying online in forums such as BiggerPockets!

The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
