Congratulations on braking ground.

My only concern to look out for is that things can go 'rural' pretty quickly if you start venturing outside of town, and most lenders are going to put the brakes on financing if the appraisal lists the property as 'rural' (has to do with what they perceive as the availability of future tenants).Watertown, NY - It probably is as good as you believe, but the lending licensing is pretty tricky up there, so its just  bit more difficult to find lenders that operate up there.

You seem like you could be sucked into a Puerto Rico investing funnel with the slightest of ease so I would pump the brakes.

As we started  to pull away, BW slammed the brakes. 

The wrong chemistry, well, see what happens if you put a few drops of brake fluid into dry pool chlorine (actually, do not do this!).

It's a combo of low housing supply, higher interest rates vs. seller expectation, and a poor economic outlook for the country.As an investor with a few rentals it's like like the parking brake is stuck on.

It puts the brakes on big power company’s power.

I think the main thing he needs is someone who will counsel him and put the brakes on any foolish ideas.

You are smart to pump the brakes on scaling, but keep at the learning aspect as you guys figure out what the next step is.
