Sometimes it takes another eye to slow down.That being said - my best partners bring stuff day 1 on the market or off market deals. 

It was slow to find a tenant but fortunately the tenants stayed a long time. 

My wife says its spreading pretty thin, and that i need to slow down and crawl before I run and not go balls to the wall so fast from zero deals to a deal, and a BRRRR project at once.

Hi Andrea,Just wanted to chime in quickly with my 0.02 Australian cents.You have received some great advice from the prior folks that commented and here is mine :)We have done so many deals in Toledo that I stopped counting at 500 lolOne thing that we have not yet figured out is "contractors".We have lost millions to these folks and experience has lead me to believe that it's just the "cost of doing business" in this market.So many just like you have tried to do flip from afar and have done so very unsuccessfully (Many come crying back to us and begging for help).The others tend to have delay after delay with big over-budget costs just to complete the job so it would have been better paying full asking price for an already renovated property.I know of only a few investors doing it well and even they still have someone on the ground that is pinching pennies from them (No where near to the degree of what some contractors do so I guess you could call it a "win/win")Spend more time conducting due diligence on building a team you can trust rather than focusing on the various areas/zip codes.Visit the market multiple times and "shake hands/kiss babies" by meeting with as many people as you can.You need a real estate agent, property manager, contractors, maintenance person, attorney, accountant, title company and mentor just to name a few.Nothing comes quick and easy in life and neither does investing in real estate successfully.Finding the above folks could take you years but don't rush because there is nothing to miss out on in my opinion.The Midwest (Especially Toledo) tends to be a boring and slow moving market.Thanks and I hope my comment helped.I wish you much success

Painting especially is easy enough to do...just go slow along the trim and ceilings and you can do a great job.Keep in mind that if you over improve, you won't see a penny in profit for years potentially.  

After intensified bombing yesterday after here in Syria after President trump announced withdrawal of US military from Syria, I discovered a fortune, which is why I am contacting you.

@Justin Miles Of course I cant predict the future, but I dont see this market slowing down substantially.

A lot of banks and hedge funds are slow moving because of bureaucracy because of their size.

That's where I went wrong was that I thought I was doing well so I moved to an expensive single family house that was way more than I needed and it really slowed down my progress.

It's also slow to correct, the average price change over a 24 month span in the last recession saw home values drop by -18% (on average, over 24 months), some markets dropped more and some less.
