 Looks like I'll never get to play again lol

That's a great answer sir! 

How do you guys know when it's time to take a day or evening off from work/investing to go do something strictly for enjoyment(i.e. Golfing, Vacation, Out to eat, etc.?) I get a variety of responses to this question. Some will say to work 100 hours a week and don't stop until you don't have to work at all and others will say differently. I'm trying to find a happy medium with this. I have a great work ethic but at the same time working 12-16 hour days makes your life fly by. I'm only 22 and I don't want to miss out on some of my prime years because I've been taught only to work, work, work. There has to be balance. How often do you guys "play" per week, month, or year? 

I'm very new to the REI field but a little research goes a long way. Weigh all your options when it comes to financing. I'm looking to go the FHA route right now. I like the option of using only 3.5% down and being able to use other money to put towards funding more deals

 My local Wells Fargo agent seemed to be alot more knowledgeable than most of the other lenders I've talked to lately. She used to manage a local bank so she had years and years worth of experience

Welcome Daniil! I hope to make it to New Zealand and flyfish some of the beautiful rivers you guys have someday!

I think I'm going to read that post and article about 5 times. Great info Ben thank you! 

I've been very much listening to the podcasts. I've read the millionaire REA and the millionaire REI by Keller, how to turn $5000 into 5mil by Nickerson, and the Emyth revisited last month. I'm in the process of reading the 7 habits of highly effective people, think and grow rich, and how to win friends and influence people. I'm also halfway finished with the PA REA License School. I'm working on it sir :)

I'm halfway through my RE license classes as of today!

I attended the meetup in Lima, OH last night hosted by @Ben Leybovich. Sometime between the meetup and driving home my wife and I lit up with energy to learn as much about this business as possible. I listened to @Engelo Rumora talk about flipping and the turnkey industry for 3 1/2 hours and I realized that I need to find and learn from more people like him no matter what it takes. Whether it be answering the phone, swinging a hammer, or getting coffee for someone who has seen the ins and outs of this business, We've decided it's a fine time to quit beating around the bush and get down to business.

This may sound ridiculous but I've retired my TV and Xbox(and all other useless time-wasting things that kill my productivity.) We have $0 debt and I live with my parents. My monthly bills consist of $257 for medical insurance, car insurance, and a cell phone bill(Not including groceries.) I'm ready to do what it takes to be successful and wealthy. I need opinions on what I should do next. Should I seek out mentors and travel to them as often as possible working to LEARN rather than working to earn?

I work 2 8/hour days a week at my job and make about $1500 monthly net. This leaves 152 more hours in the week that I can use to travel, analyze my market, work on marketing, doing deals, meeting successful people and buying them dinner and inhaling information. I'm not opposed to traveling to other states to learn as well. We drove 10 hours roundtrip for a 3 hour meeting and spent $150 total. Someday I'll look back on that $150 investment and figure out what the ROI is on it lol. Obviously I will need to save some capital as well but if I need to spend some time and money learning from the best, then I'm willing to do that. Thoughts guys? Where do I start?
