There are many more things that I realized I need to think about in order to create a successful partnership.

You BPs are the reason we should all realize there are people out there that know how to treat people.

Around September 2019 is when I realized there was no way we were finishing this property on the original $11,000 budget and that I needed to find more money.

Hopefully the difficult neighbor realizes that it’s not worth the time/expense to involve the judicial system.

I have a contract on a duplex and just realized it is in an opportunity zone.  

Based on your numbers, it looks like you would achieve about $5,000 per year in cash flow if you keep it ($1300-$865 = $435 per month x 12 = $5,220 per year).If you sell it and realize about $90K then the question is can you invest that money into a new investment that will yield you more than $5,000 per year?

We originally wanted to rent it out for the long term but after realizing since this had been our primary residence, that if we sold it, the profits would not be impacted by capital gains taxes.

Otherwise just realize that with risk comes reward and it is totally normal to be nervous. 

As soon as you start pre screening them you will realize how many of them are either unqualified or not serious.

Hello BiggerPockets, I've been sort of lurking for long time and trying to educate myself, but after doing a little math at the end of 2019 and realizing that from mid-2017 to the end of 2019 our net worth went up about 10% total, I have realized that I need to try and make 2020 the year I try to start actually making deals.A little about myself: My wife and I have "decent" paying W2 jobs which take up most of our time, so we are looking for something a little more passive (NNN or Apartment Syndication are the two that seem the "jump out" at me through my research).
