If you have these elements then your business is now: weekly status reports from contractors + periodic inspections, daily review of deals from your network, and reporting success to networks.

If you set an oven on broil the element on top goes on and browns the top of the food, if you leave it on too long it burns. 

You missed the most crucial element.

Getting a payoff via refi or resale without the distress element may be a better course of action. 

All markets have both investment return elements and it maybe the investors expectations of time to account for the one that fits best, so not really a right or wrong deal vs what is more profitible over long hauls. 

I'm in my element when it comes to creative financing.

Those HOA fees, special assessments, dealing with the HOA boards, and handling all PM duties and associated elements, along with working 2 W2 earnings teaching jobs were beginning to way  heavy on my mind.  

The key element missing is appreciation (both forced and market appreciation in both rents and prices).

Last year I learned from a Youtube video how to sand down the heating element because it was igniting and then turning off.

@Jesus Minier I work with my contractor on the design elements, she is a pro!
