• Overpaying
• Overleveraging

You must stick to your budget and make sure the numbers make sense to get the best outcome: the one that matches your overall goals.

• Be clear about your goals

Be clear about the goal of this investment. Is it to generate positive cash flow for passive income?

Is it a long term equity building strategy or some combination of both?

• Remove emotions from the business equation

2. Overleveraging
