Finding the right deal takes time, and it pays to be patient and stick to your criteria (so long as it's not completely out of line with what the market can provide).

Begin small and scale.Remember that real estate investing is a journey, and it's essential to be patient and thorough in your research.

Not that there is anything wrong with buying outright, just most do not have the patients or income to make that a reality in their lifetime.

It's about consumer satisfaction with the product.

If I help people, it gives me satisfaction of doing some good.

My initial advice to all new investors is no.Be patient and get to know your local market. 

You simply dont have the capital to invest at the moment.Take a deep breath, be patient.   

I still did some investing but being worried that i would lose I put stop loss's at double my money and got taken out had I been more patient it would have doubled or more again..

My locations are ideal for hospital workers/visitors, International college students/families, vacationers/national park goers and are walkable to anything you might want.My cancellations only happen within seconds of booking confirmation (literally), or in the rare event a surgery/appointment is cancelled for a patient from outside the country(a time or two).

The $ difference in interest savings between monthly punches in the face vs annual isn't huge but the satisfaction seeing the balance fall every month sustained me.
