regrouping, getting back to a financial mindset

[Demario Scott]

I have not posted in some time, and I must say I feel of the wagon. Life started moving fast as many probably can understand and I completely fell of track. If I had to leave a takeaway from this post before getting too far in it would be that whatever goals are had you have, we have these goals for a reason and typically it does not go exactly as planned but even if it doesn't go as planned, we can pick up where we left off and give it a fresh start. I purchased a single family to rent out the rooms and it sent my finical plan completely off course because I was not as ready as I previously thought. I bought a single family because I thought I could house hack in the same way as a duplex and in ways it certainly could have and did work but I didn't expect the relational aspects of having people living in a property I purchased. Well, a lot of life happened and now I am getting back to zero no debt and I'll be renting for now and I am considering a duplex to buy cash or maybe land and some sort of unconventional home but still purchasing cash. So back to the drawing board, but for myself the big takeaway is to continue on the course that I set out on and too continually learn and stay involved with goals that I set out on and to stay focused. Listening to one bigger pockets episode or a good book here and there really can be a good reminder, refresher on the financial journey.
