I'm not sure if anyone is in the same boat?
I started my property investment journey in 2009 and have done quite well for myself over the years; mainly off the back of a very stagnant market.
As a self confessed property 'addict', I'd spend countless hours each day nitpicking at deals and developing quite a high expectation on what constitutes a good deal for me and what isn't
As an avid cashflow chaser, I remember not pursuing quite a few properties a few years ago, particularly in the Sydney market, that would have netted me an extra 1.5 - 2 mil today in equity over what now seems like extremely trivial reasons
Today is a different story - I barely even look at property anymore and have more or less 'switched off'. I had a few buys earlier this year but other than that, has been extremely slow due to my set high expectations of a good property and of course, a rising market
Coupled with the fact that I have very high expectations of myself and extremely goal oriented, I am starting to feel a lot of negativity that my progress has come to a halt. I feel the 'good old days' are over and keep being reminded of all those deals I had passed on and where I would be now if I had just been a little more aggressive and less risk adverse.
I would like some insight, probably from some of the more experienced investors on whether they had or have felt similar in a rising market, how to cope/overcome in what is seemingly a very first world problem. Any advice/discussion would be much appreciated.
