I am interested in Real Estate Investing as a way to establish solid income streams for myself and give myself independence.

While you may lose a some money in that particular deal the respect, trust, and reputation you build buy putting your investors first will lead to much more opportunities later. 

They will respect the landlords when the lenders start foreclosing on them, and the tenants that are not paying their rent get evicted by the lenders. 

I remember you got your last out in the 8th by making a play at first and you ran past our dugout and flexed hard af, lol I was mad but respected the hell out of it.

I refinanced them both to 15-yr terms, that will be fully paid off in 2028 and 2031, respectively. 

I've never felt threatened because I treat my tenants with respect and courtesy, and I've made a point to introduce myself to all the neighbors and offer my phone number should they ever have any concerns.

Since it's established as a higher end neighborhood and has everything you're looking for already.

Once you establish a track record and trust it's easier to attract investors.
