But staying at Westlake though.My first objective is to find someone to fix up both properties and get them rent ready.

Then he raised several objections to the sale which tied things up further.

Negotiated with seller for several months until we made a plan to meet both sides objectives.

Some people call it “shiny object syndrome”.All of a sudden, right at the moment that you’re about to have success, one of your old high school buddies comes along, and says, “Hey, I have a way for you to make more money in a shorter amount of time.”If you haven't read Gary Keller's, The One Thing, I HIGHLY recommend you read that book a.s.a.p.

There is a reason objects are smaller in your rear view mirror.

@David Hill That really depends on your objectives and what you're comfortable with.

A good place to start is to clearly identify your objectives and criteria and then identify the markets that will best help you achieve them.

To juggle you have to manage the decent of more than one object at a time toward earth. 

I have great credit, and good income, but I think my objective is to have the least of my own money into projects as possible.

Focus on the things you can control and don't get shiny object syndrome.
