Hoa is very high, off the water and maintenance is starting to increase.

Conduct thorough market research to identify target areas with high investor demand, distressed properties, and motivated sellers.

I personally like to buy real estate that has A) excellent long-term prospects ie. area growth, commercial vibrancy, high housing demand, rising rental rates and B) positive or at least neutral cash flow.

Unless you have really high interest or short amortization  hard money loans this will not increase your cash flow.

Haven't purchased anything recently due to inflated prices/ high interest rates.

Plus you could be out of place in a mastermind with experienced operators discussing high level strategies and issues, whereas you may have basic questions and issues.

However, these brackets are frequently pulled off by guests, leading to high maintenance costs.

Im having a clear picture of what my next step should look like. 

I didn't realize I am back in high school?

I was wondering if giving not exactly 10 but something on the high side would attract someone to invest with me:)
