What's your why and has it changed?
I searched and found this question posted 6 years ago, then a year ago in another thread. I don't know if there are rules reviving old posts, but I'd like to know if any why's have changed in the past year and/or what your why is now.
Mine is my children. I would like them to have options when they grow up. I'd like them to see real estate as a possibility. I'd also like more time with them.
They are also my accountability team. Nothing like a 9 and 7 year old asking if you got your first deal yet. My goal is 50 doors in 5 years. All last year I made no offers. Since telling my kids 3 weeks ago, I've already made 4 offers. I've been beat out each time, once by only a couple thousand, but on each I've told them to keep my offer as a backup.
Nothing like relentless children to hold you accountable. "Dad, did you make any offers, do we own a rental property?" "Dad, this is like monopoly but so much cooler!"
