Hello @Cassandra Boyett ,Based on how you asked your question I can tell that you have made the mental leap that you have to buy where you can make money.

However I do understand that with commercial comes the increased possibility that your building will sit empty for a long period of time and you have to be able to handle that mentally and financially.

Our culture seems to have degenerated in to an "Order-taker" mentality with very little pride in a job well done.

She basically has anxiety about thoughts of having to deal with tenant and repair nightmares to the point of where she thinks it would take a mental and physical toll on health and so understandably has massive aversion to the idea.

It has everything to do with our economy, salaries for the lower income bracket, and a renters mentality.

I'd prioritize the things you think would normally take you the longest to do yourself, budget them out, then see whats left that you might be able to do yourself to save a little money, so long as it doesn't extend your timeline. 

Not to mention making more in a couple of deals than most people  make in half a year.True there are many variables, but that is what keeps it exciting and yes, mentally stimulating.

It will prepare them mentally that they will receive an offer, and most importantly the statement "Is there any reason why you would not want to accept that offer when we meet on______?"

We Finally closed and funded last Friday and all the Mental anguish was gone once we saw what was in the bank account :)Lessons Learned:If you have A GREAT deal...things will fall into place.

I feel like I still have many questions all the time, and at a point where I feel like I have no direction or where I should be spending most of my time and prioritize certain tasks.
