In Turner's book, he talks about four plans an investor can take. They're very detailed and can be modified. This is my version year to year and I would appreciate any feedback.

This is only a 10 year plan. I dont' want to think to far ahead because plans change. Also at some time I might quit my day job seeing as I like working for UPS. Maybe i'll keep building my real estate empire past 100 tenants. Thanks for reading and please leave feedback!
