I made that mistake a long time ago with my first purchase.

I could probbbbbbably find the money to buy him out, making him the same offer that he made me, BUT there are a good amount of mistakes that have been made (things that I've gone against my gut letting my partner make decisions) that I feel as though I'd rather just start over from scratch. 

Find my mistakes.

If you find one I would love to learn from your experiences & mistakes.

Completed FC in late August but found that there was a mistake in the legal description (long story, later) so we have to vacate the FC and are now re-foreclosing. 

The big mistake I think most new agents make, which is why there is such a huge drop out rate is that they do not understand the difference between having a JOB and owning and running a SMALL BUSINESS.

I am really excited to find the number of areas one can invest in RE to make huge changes in lifestyle.I am currently going through all the podcasts, blogs and forums to acquire enough knowledge to learn and avoid the rookie mistakes as much as possible and understand the best practices.My goal is to acquire cash flowing rentals to replace my w2 income completely.

Both books do a good job of giving reasons those fears may be misplaced and outlining how to do things in REI correctly in order to minimize any mistakes.

The direct flipside of this however, is that you will make mistakes that will cost you money since you would be flying solo. 

i expect that we'll have that sale completed in the next month.I the meantime, I'm looking for feedback on our vision and where we might be making any mistakes or what to watch out for.
