One gets experience at not taking things personally, if you take it as a learning opportunity.

The definition of “bad deal” here would relate more to the opportunity cost of such investment compared to other investments (financial markets), than a real financial loss for the investor (i.e. ending up with less cash than originally invested).Let’s now modify a bit our assumptions by including some inflation in our model (say 2%, in line with historical average).

This scenario features a normal FHA loan, but there may also be an opportunity for the seller to hold the mortgage.

As we are now approaching October, the after Business (9-5) hours, time to interact with Clients becomes shorter & shorter until we approach Spring and the time changes again - lessening your opportunity time. 

Once our income is replaced, we will continue to add to our real estate portfolio and start looking for opportunities to invest into businesses.I came to join Bigger Pockets by searching the internet. 

Throwing cash on a mortgage is a waste of cash if you intend to keep it as a income investment.

I intend on doing a 1031 exchange on the property and would like to move it while the market and rates are good and it will sell somewhat quick (Hawaii).

I intend to continue building "the company," not build a law practice. 

In short, you choose to invest out fo your area for opportunity.
