Good evening BP,

I work full time as a teacher, part time as a behavioral therapist and I am a church musician. I'm trying to 10X my income to buy more properties. Furthermore, I'm married with 5 children under 5 years old, in which includes two sets of twins, that's right, TWO SETS of TWINS. I got Brandon Turner and Josh Dorkin beat. All that being said, I still make time to analyze, view and make offers on properties. I've purchased my first rental property back in March of 2015 for $60,000, in Pleasantville NJ, a suburb of Atlantic City.It was a foreclosure listed on HomePath.com. It's a SFR 3 bed 2 bath Rancher. We put 25% as down payment. With rehab, holding cost and down payment, the total all in cost was $31,201.19. We were able to rehab the property and get it rented in 1 month. My wife and I currently manage the property. We are still on Bigger Pockets learning, reading, listening to all the podcast, webinars and TAKING ACTIONS DAILY.

I will write another post about offers being rejected, losing funding and losing money, agents, building my credit and raising capital. Failure is a part of growth and I intend on expand my business for my BIG family and to live life on my terms. Thanks BP!
