Picking up my 7th rental!

Hey all!

I want to thank everyone on here, including Brandon Turner for his wonderful webinars, for giving me advice throughout the years, and I'm now picking up my 7th rental at the end of this month!  With this rental, I'll be about 60% done with my first goal of having the net rent match my current salary after tax. :)  Woo me! :)

I've slowly developed my target market and strategy over the years by talking with people, learning the area I'm in, trusting my gut, and having a cash reserve when things go south. :)

Right now, I'm on track to pick up my 8th rental by the end of summer too!  Things are FINALLY starting to get going.  It's so difficult and discouraging to try to get your real estate empire off the ground, but if you stick with it, you absolutely can make it happen!

You have a great story, Travis. Thanks for sharing and congrats!

As far as the goals go. Early on, the skies the limit, right? $10k, $40k / mo? The mansion on the hill? 

10, 15 years in. Where and when does it end? What is success?  Will I ever stop seeking, living and breathing real estate? 

Not for a long time for you or many I hope. One day a contentment may bless you and you'll know. It may come suddenly one day out of the blue. The thought of another tenant, another toilet, another roof, more gutters won't excite anymore and that's OK. 10X your goals while they still burn. Build and grow and change lives. You are doing awesome!
