@Peter M. thanks for the info! Super helpful thoughts from someone who’s been (kind of) on the inside. Maybe we’ll consider that as a last ditch effort, but even then, I’m not sure. It is nice to be able to get around. 😀

@Eric Adobo they aren’t super expensive or overly extravagant cars. I’d say that with both of them, I’d be around $25,000. I imagine it wouldn’t do much for me, especially trying to secure a mortgage. I’m just trying to explore as many options as I can.

@Mary Jay, I'm not a single parent, but my wife and I do work opposing shifts. We give each other a high-five when I get home in the afternoon and she's off to work. Timing is certainly going to be a challenge we'll have to work through. Partnerships seem to be a great option, but again, finding time to build those relationships may pose yet another challenge. 

Outside of that, I'm not sure I've got much advice, as I'm also on the front end of this trying to figure out how to be a good dad, a good husband and still explore some of these opportunities. Meditation has been super helpful, as well as making a decision to change my mindset and be more open minded to the possibilities.

Good luck! You're not alone. But I'm convinced that if this is something we really want, we'll make it happen. As @Mindy Jensen would say, "there's always a way!"

@Ron Gallagher may be able to grab an 8,000 sq. ft. Lot, in town, if I’m lucky. Maybe a nice place in a retirement village... if I was over 65 😬
@Charles M. I may be able to find an 8,000 sq. ft. lot, in town, if I’m lucky. Otherwise, I may be able to find something in a retirement village... if I was over 65. 😬
I’m brand spanning new to BP and the whole real estate investment world. As such, in an effort to satisfy my own curiosity, is it ridiculous for me to consider cross-collateralizing two vehicles to secure a loan and get started with a house-hackable duplex or other small investment property? If that’s doable, what happens after 1-2 years and I refinance? Are those vehicles still held as collateral if for some crazy reason we default on the loan? Finally, since I’m showing my hand and admitting that I really have no idea if this is even a reasonable option, please feel free to set me straight. I’m currently a sponge and willing to soak up any tips, advice, thoughts, etc. that will help get the ball rolling. Cheers!

Welcome to BP Kyle! We spent about 3 years down in the Little Elm/Frisco area about 10 years ago now. I'm sure things have changed quite a bit, but I imagine it's a pretty decent place to land a few properties. Good luck!

@Katie Stewart, thanks for stopping to say hey. I’m surprised at the variety of folks working in so many different sectors of real estate in Fort Collins. I’ll definitely keep y’all in mind once we get things ramped up. I think we’ve got a pretty great town for networking, so hopefully I’ll get the network built up nice and strong here as quick as possible

@James Orr Thanks so much for the invite! I am super interested in tonight’s topic, but my wife works at night and I’m not sure I’d be able to get childcare line up this quickly. I will definitely work on freeing up the next couple weeks. I would also love to sit down and chat about other projects you’ve got going and how I could help out. Cheers!

@Kevin Grinstead Thanks for the welcome! The resources here are so vast that I feel like I’m in an accelerated crash course. The goal now is to be diving into investing with the big kids sooner rather than later.
