My goal in life is to own as many rental properties as possible. I recently purchased my first duplex. I would like to make managing the properties my full time job. As everyone knows, purchasing and fixing real estate requires a good amount of money. I currently do not make very much money at my full time job ($30k pre tax). I need to save up enough cash for a down payment plus enough for any repairs that need done on my next property. I was thinking about learning to trade stocks to hopefully earn enough to get my next rental? I am trying to get this rental business going, but $30k a year is not nearly enough for me to achieve this quickly enough. I just can't accept the fact of slowly saving a little each month until I have enough, which would probably take YEARS. I am open to any ideas that could help me earn money more quickly. I am striving for greatness, but feel like I'm stuck treading water in mediocrity. I need help getting to the next level and beyond.
