If you don’t pay attention to your finances don’t invest until you learn to be intentional with your money. 

I would pay attention to the bread dinner.

One important lesson we learned is to pay attention to the type of repairs needed on a house before you buy it.

Your input is helping me confirm where to look and what to pay attention to.Also, relative to @Mike Dymski's point, maybe I'm naive, but I'm starting to feel like investing in new developments (of shovel ready, experienced crews) is LESS risky than counting on refinance of short-term bridge loans or even value-add MF with 5 or 10 year notes (of which I'm involved in a handful of syndications). 

Very energy efficient and near the Rockwater Village development.Because I am new at this and we bought another home because my wife and I are expecting our first baby :) I am strongly considering using a property manager (worried about time and attention with the newborn).

-Pay close attention to property taxes, and whether sale triggers reassessment.

They will pay more attention to the paint scheme than the financials, and that won't help you.

Many new flippers get burned on flips because they pay too much for the property or don't pay attention to seasonality.

I would miss out on the residual income but I rather focus my attention on other real estate interests, other businesses I'm involved with, and not be away from home much longer. 

My main fear was that I found the opportunity, brought it to their attention, found the people with the money and the property manager, get to the table and the conversation goes “we have the money, we have the pm, what do you do?”
