I’ve always get stuck at this stage, I don’t want it to go away because it’s a potential deal I believe.

If you believe you will need cash soon enough, then you want to put as little as possible, so that you can do more purchases to start building up your portfolio.If you believe you won't need the cash for the near future ... then put down 20% and avoid extra expenses ... such as PMI ... etc.My very first rentals, I bought them in class A, pure appreciation play, put 20% down.

I believe success comes from mastery.

Waited for special masters deed in the mail which came in on March 9th I believe.

I'm not sure about your derivation of the term, would love to hear a little more of why you believe that is. 

I do real estate full-time because I believe if you half-*** anything in life, you get half-*** results.

It's called "life".Those that believe a term will prevent tenants from leaving during winter or hard to rent months do not understand the business or their tenants.There is zero guaranteed upside to a term lease and you give up being able to control your property or your tenants.

I don’t believe in paying for a mentor.

I would, however, ask him what he really expects to make since he obviously believes the potential profit exceeds $25k.
