Don’t leave the same lesson repeatedly or it’s your fault. ... no wasted mistakes.

@Jared Cheney the biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is not knowing the areas well enough and buying in bad neighborhoods.

I have made a lot of mistakes, but I am loving to lesson.

I've been through alot of them and wouldnt want you guys to make the same mistakes.

@Justin Mariniak you are making the mistake of taking payment from each separately.

I am still in preliminary stages and trying to learn to analyze and not make any major mistake. 

A mentor in your area like Jonathan Bombaci suggested would be far better but Bigger Pockets forums are helpful to point out if you are making any mistakes in your analysis. 

At the end of the day you (or the seller) are paying them to provide you service so don’t do their job for them and little mistakes like this can be avoided in the future.

Keep investing, slowly but surely and we will learn from every one of these mistakes.

Feel free to contact me if you are looking for an additional person to analyze properties and make sure that you aren't making a mistake or investing in something that wouldn't be of benefit.Best,Jacob Emmert
