Having a great team behind you is a good cure for that.They will hold you accountable and let you know if it is a good deal and not to pass it up or if you are being completely sane and it is not the right deal.I look forward to seeing you engage in the community further and level up as an investor!

I would research what happens at the end of a balloon mortgage thoroughly before engaging this deal and make sure you feel comfortable with it.

So I was confident on managing another one in the same area if I found something.

Based on your description of the deal, you need to engage an SEC attorney who can set up an appropriate structure. 

I'm pretty confident that I'm not the only newbie who feels this way.

If you feel confident that your income can 'comfortably' cover the debt then it is your friend and another source of funds.

Gives me additional confidence that what I’m doing is repeatable and I didn’t just get lucky the 1st time.

I find this step harder to find a solid company that answers the phone and I would have confidence in handling the STR cleaning job

Why I say I was lucky is that I got into wholesaling cold calling homeowners with a confidently good, borderline obsessive amount of knowledge about investing, so I already had an eye for a deal.

I know you are confident that we will be closing on time, so let's get this wrapped up... open escrow and put the $___ in you pocket come closing day.""
