One more tip – people remember stories that trigger their emotions.

.” - Bruce Lee   Outside of doing a task, intuitively creating the task steps helps me remember and understand the "why/when" moments.As for pulling the trigger on a purchase, I'm looking for the right one (not the perfect one) for this area.Analysis paralysis is a real thing. 

Initially, when I started investing in RE everyone I approached with an intent to form a partnership with to spread/share risk and learn with was a bit timid.I shared how I like to buy properties under market rent with deferred maintenance because I am able to do relatively light rehabs and raise rents to top market rent value. 

I have looked at a few off-market deals down in Charleston and Mattoon but I haven't pulled the trigger. 

I'm excited to get started, but I've heard and read over and over that we should get a formal partnership agreement in place before purchasing the house.

How many people in the group are doing deals and getting into General Partnerships?

Seemed like as soon as we pulled the trigger, prices started a steep climb but we are making the best of it:) I will echo Michael, all of the MFs I have seen come on market in Ocala are priced so high the ROI is not very good.

I would start to think of things in terms of partnerships though.

The first one is the hardest to pull the trigger on; I'm sure you'll do many more. 

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $16,045 This was my second deal and I bought it in a partnership.
