I don't finance (I do this to push the price down to get close to the 70% rule).

In addition, there are a lot of large commercial construction projects underway right now in Tampa which is pushing the construction industry to beyond its limits and its really hard to get projects finished.

It seems to be astronomically different from what I have read in this book and the book 'one rental at a time' (along with things like rich dad poor dad etc) But keen to see all the pieces of the puzzle come together as I learn more.I have ZERO experience in property, I invest in Shares and Crypto and my partner has a 1 bedder (120k owing) that we rent out, We were looking to buy a home for ourselves but the market seems ridiculous atm and anything we had liked (small 3bedder single family home) I just don't think is worth 900+K and pushing our loan plus repayments to the max.

Thank you for the push!

They told him they didnt give a you know what - go ahead and sue us and we will bury you.

That means after accounting for the payment difference, you will be ahead by $58,976 at the end of ten years.

My question to those of you that are ahead of me is two-fold:1.

When I think about rehabbing, financing, property management, and other aspects of the business, it can feel a bit disorganized.I may be getting ahead of myself here by thinking about documentation and systemization, but I'd like to have some kind of mental framework regarding how to think about the different aspects of real estate and how they relate to each other so that I can have a bit more structure in my thinking. 

Your book recommendation will absolutely help give you a head start on being an honest and ethical landlord. 

You get that big hangover from Thanksgiving, everyone's stressed out trying to find the perfect present, sick of all the pushing and shoving at the mall and the Amazon guy is a day or two late on everything.
