Started investing at 19, almost foreclosed 2 properties, went to Afghanistan to save them. Finally refinanced and cash positive!

My subject pretty much describes my story. I describe it much more in depth in another thread I started in "starting up." I went from the underdog who was doing everything right at 19, quickly aquired more, bit off a project that was more than I could chew, almost lost everything, and now @ 24 years old ive managed to recover it all and refinance everything to a point where I'm finally earning a return while someone else pays my notes!!! No where to go but up from here! This thread has my hike story.

no way I'm going to afghanistan to save my homes; rather save my life than my house.
