There is no requirement to do 35 deals, only time.

Here are some tips I use to keep with it.I schedule my gym time in calendar, just like another meeting.I built a gym at home in my basement (right next to my office) as I prefer that to going to a crowded gym.I shop once a week and focus on mostly healthy food.

I'd look at land value and land development to capture substantial upside, I'd look at 50+ unit deals for entitlement, I'd self perform land acquisition and land development in a midwest market like columbus that allows for substantial gain and represents a more stable long term growth, but when you break down the industry new construction is very stable you are already doing that by just working in new construction. you'd essentially be the developer on a larger deal you could do that in one deal. lol 

It all depends on what sort of deal you are thinking.  

The deal I chose was somewhat at random, but also looking at price points and neighborhood ratings I thought would be good for a first investment.Below is my attempt to break down this deal. 

We're looking to convert our current home into a rental with the option to purchase.Would anyone happen to have any thoughts, tips, recommendations on structuring a lease option?

-can your agent help you get off market deals? 

Ultimately it's a matter of preference and deal dependent, and inspections are not necessary if you're confident in the price you are getting

I always think 3-5 % is the annual appreciation to go when I analyze deals.

Also, connect with other like-minded people in your community and attend as many in person meetings at your local REIA groups to network and connect + find out about off market deals and get on local wholesalers "buyers lists".Best of luck!
