I want to get my hands dirty, learn the ropes of the hard work/labor aspects, and then spread my wings in the design strategy aspect. 

In this post I would like to bring one of the more over looked aspects of RE investing (in football it is field position and clock management).

I also love homes - the tangible and intangible aspects.  

I find it strange that some read "the sum of the parts is greater than the whole" to mean as an investor (or even a home owner) we have to win in every aspect of ownership or 'the sky is falling' starts to occur.One of the BIGGEST mistakes foisted upon the baby boomers was the notion that your home is an investment. 

I will only point out a strategic decision change and challenges we had throughout.

On a last note, municipal liens is just a small piece if the overall puzzle and really one of the easier aspects of the process. 

Here is the situation / story: After winning the property I paid for an in depth title research (yes I know this should be done ahead of time but often there is not enough time to do it before hand. so lets not discuss that aspect of it here.)  

My end goal in this industry is to be an investor but I know having my license will only benefit me in that aspect.

I've found that when I get to a point in research on one aspect where the info starts piling up, I just move on to the next item on my list.

Some condos have rules prohibiting or limiting rentals, or pets or another aspect not conducive to your investing goals.3.
