All are things you will want to discuss before diving in!

Take a deep breath and relax.

This will also give you the ability to learn about other markets without jumping into the deep end. 

I know Gene Guarino is THE AUTHORITY when it comes to RAL, but before committing to the hands-on workshop in Arizona, I'd like to dive deeper into the numbers and address a few questions I have.

So this begs the question: how do you network and build a team when you aren’t ready to dive in?

So I offer only my observations and opinions, but I wanted to contribute a little bit to the thought process tempered with 21 years of my wife having to deal with me ;- )For starters, you asking the question would seem that you really just need some validation for what you think you should do, and there is plenty of support for that position above, so I won't go very deep into, but the statement that actually stood out to me was the "He’s the type of person that hates his job and does nothing about it.

Dig deep and sometimes that many deals that fast does NOT mean they were very profitable.I’d rather keep doing what I’m doing with buy and hold at a slower but profitable pace then trying to win a “doors” race.

I'll bet that it will be a great time to buy condos at a deep discount. 

That would be a pretty ugly situation for anyone with multiple house unless you had some DEEP pockets.

@Patrick Zane McLure you would exhaust yourself too fast because in this short term there isn’t much income.I would take a 30 year loan, work on the terms when you resell the property too so every person gets its cut.Take a c or b- building that are a bit run down, multi units are very easy to increase value fast when you fix them up (lot of multi units that are worth 700k when they were bough were sold for double after 1-2 years - read about the repositioning multi unit strategy)Read books about it before diving in, some multi unit that look renovated and brand new are usually not a good investment because theres no value to add to them and increase rent)
