You are so right that building your team is critically important.

But the ability to control the heat or air conditioning is critical to me and I find that control almost non-existent in most hotels. 

It's critical right now that you take your cash and put it into lending with people who are flipping.

Having my wife as a business partner has been extremely critical. 

I've never ever installed one of these and asked around a ton; I was even advised to "leave that to a pro" since it's a pretty critical part of the security but, hey, how interesting would my blog on BP be if I did something crazy like pay someone else to do it?  

Thank you guys very much for all of the criticism and input. 

I don't know if there are other equally critical like things to be mindful of for houses in Texas.

The downside is I do have to wait a year and a half before my first deal.I would really appreciate any feedback, comments, constructive criticism.

But please, I’m not criticizing.

Your burn rate is extremely critical and the reason why is because the amount of money that you spend daily to carry that asset or that home can eat away your profits so as an example if you factor in your monthly payment on interest, your utility bills, your internet bills if you're monitoring via camera if you factor in taxes and insurance HOA fees these are all things that add to your burn rate.
