MAKE UP YOUR MIND and take ACTION!!!!!

🙏 A year and a week ago I had a passing conversation with my CPA about buying some rentals to help with my tax burden.

🙏 4 Weeks later I had purchased 5 duplexes, totaling 10 rental units.

🙏 Before a year was up I added the kid's Condo and another 4 unit quadruplex. I also have 8 more units under contract to purchase in the next 2 months.

🙌 11.5 months- 15 units. (Soon to be 23)

This is a post for the individuals out there that follow me and think, WOW, Dean is killing it. Dean is really a lucky guy. He can, but I can't! To that, I say that is a bunch of 💩. There is no luck. There is only hard work and want to!

We are all blessed with God-given talent and gifts! We are all special and capable of achieving and creating a better life for ourselves!

What's the difference between us you ask?

I stopped lying to myself. I stopped making excuses. I made up my mind! Make up your mind and see how your life can change in just 12 months.

What are you making excuses about? Stop and get started now!

Share this with anyone you know that needs to hear this. Make up your mind and look back a year later and smile big! 😁

God bless! Have an amazing day my friends!
