The thing that holds most beginners back is much simpler:They don’t have a clear plan for the first 90 days.I’ve seen so many new investors jump from podcasts to YouTube to forums, soaking up information but never building an actual roadmap.And without a plan, everything feels overwhelming — markets, terms, lenders, strategy choices… all of it.You don’t need a perfect strategy to start.You just need a simple direction:Pick one strategy to learn (BRRRR, STR, house hack, etc.)Pick one market to study deeplyPick one daily or weekly habit you’ll stick to (analyzing deals, networking, saving, whatever moves you forward)Clarity beats intensity every time.The investors who succeed aren’t the ones who know the most — they’re the ones who stay consistent long enough to make their first move.If you’re overwhelmed, simplify.Start with the next 90 days, not the next 10 years.For those who are just getting started — what’s the one thing you’re focusing on first?

After exercising it twice, my local police advised me verbally to change the agreement name to “innkeeper” agreement.Hope this helps! 

If the Tenant Buyer walks away from the deal I get to keep his Option payment, since it is non-refundable and I sell to another Tenant Buyer and get another Option Payment usually about $20k to $25k.I encourage buyers to get qualified for financing, give them a mortgage broker contact and to plan their lifestyle to be able to get a loan to exercise the Option.

Keep doing the exercise of running the numbers.
