Purchase price maybe $120,000  a door, that seems high to me for 70s product, but I just don´t remember prices at that time.   

If you are going to purchase materials as a cost saving mechanism, remember the project will perform best if both the owner and GC turn a profit.

I remember I used to drive by my first rental property often just to make sure... - IDK, that it was still there??

I remember when a close friend of mine bought his first duplex in Philly; the excitement was off the charts.Your idea to pick up the neighboring property is pretty smart, especially with that shared backyard.

Many times, they use phrases, and such that seem to be above their pay grade, but they use them to make themselves look smarter in my opinion.For example, one of the latest ones I remember is we had a property for sale and the guy that was tire kicking and looking to see what kind of deal he could work out ask the question “when do we want to close escrow?” 

Over the past year or so I've read books, blogs, and watched more YouTube videos than I can remember.

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

Interesting...I remember seeing something similar not tool long ago but it was about CA from all the wild fires.  

I remember being a beginner and having similar thoughts and my coach telling me "you need to keep looking for the deal, it's out there". 

Remember, it's consistent base hits that win the game!
