Thanks @Robert Carl for the confidence boost!

I am confident that I can increase the value of investments within 3 to 6 mos by 30% to 50% -- and I have a proven record of doing so.My investment objectives are to use private investors for cash requirements, recover any of my own invested cash within one year, provide property management at no cost through the holding period negotiated with investors.

But, like I said, we're bringing the business we run and I'm 100% confident that if the arrangement works out we'll be able to consistently pay a mortgage out as well as show the seller that to confidence.But, well, it's not like I've been studying how commercial real estate works.

Marketing: - Airbnb is the easiest to use and lowest cost OTA (online travel agent). 

Hopefully I'll never have to even think about using it, but I am a father, husband, and bread winner so I need to make sure I come home.I would recommend people get the proper training so you can operate the firearm confidently and safely.

We plan to live very conservatively while traveling abroad with our children.  

Some people travel 2+ hours each way to attend a meeting. 

Whether this is gonna work out or not, I'm definitely learning and building confidence to find deals.

(you will come a cross a lot more confident in your offers or just talking to sellers when you have at least two more nearly as good deals to make) The above action will dramatically increase your chances to be able to negotiate much more realistic deals for you that you will be able to perform (close) on. 

I used to be sought out for restaurant consultation work but did not want to do all that traveling plus I like real estate the best.Another item to watch carefully is this minimum wage hike thing.
