What is your WHY? What keeps you going?

Hi All,

I know for a lot of people in the STR game, Cash flow, ROI, and W-2 freedom are the key focus, but I am curious what the bigger WHY is for folks outside of those things?

I am trying to narrow down my big why outside of just quitting my W-2 job for time freedom and financial independence so I was just curious what the rockstar STR investors on BP had determined in their own lives...

Looking forward to everyone's responses 😃

    @Cody Z. So I am literally a complete noob but I ha like 3 I can think of

    1.) I want to retire my mom, auntie, and make sure my family is good because I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without the help of everyone keeping me of the street and becoming a drug dealing statistic

    2.) I want to become financially independent and successful to prove to myself that I know I can do it but it is a matter of drive, hard work, and consistency. I have alot of things I have come up with to make money but I know that real consistent wealth come from RE.

    3.) I want to be a role model for my younger siblings. As stated above, I came from a terrible environment (Camden, NJ) and the last thing I want is for my younger brother a little sister is to become a statistic. I want them to know that it is possible and I will prove it.

    4.) I kinda want a car collection 😅. Grow up I have always wanted to own Porche's, Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, McLaren's, and so on. I always would how I could get them and what it would be like to own them. Also, I kinda look up to Manny Khoshbin and to be better than him one day. He preach's to never give up no matter what!

    I am still learning alot right now and it is slightly overwhelming (me being a noobie and all) but hard work pays of and consistency is key. I appreciate this question because I think about this all the time and would like to share my why. Thank you! 👍🏾
