High crime is usually the last dividing line between C and D for people who specialize in C-class investing. buying C and D class may remove you from the rat race but it puts you on the hamster wheel.if one thinks they are going to run off into I don't need to work anymore because I have a PM managing my C class rentals that may happen when you get to 100 doors or so.. 

There are 2 kinds of lead generation methods in my opinion.The "hamsterwheel" method and the Compound method.When the hamster stops running the wheel stops everything stops.With the compounding method, every action you take towards lead generation it will forever automatically do its thing whether or not you are involved or noy.Let me give you a few examples.Cold calling, DMM, textmessaging , the second you stop your leadflow dies.However, if you ranked your website #1 on Google, you pretty much are hands off from that point, now you can do something else, while that first method keeps getting you leads.Now.. wouldn't it be a bonus if that compounding method also gave you leads of ridiculous quality?

If you have a two-pet limit, can someone do 2 dogs and a hamster?

After 17 years as a dedicated, company first, workaholic I realize that EVERYONE is expendable and how much of my wife and daughter's lives I missed out on by getting caught on the "corporate hamster wheel".  

Still, if I clearly state that a property won't allow pets am I required to consider three "therapy cats" and a "documented emotional support pit bull" and maybe a seeing-eye hamster?

I always get a little excited when I read a topic like this... a little because of my own personal hopes & goals, but moreover, because I'm so happy to know that someone else was able to get off that hamster wheel.

I've come to the realization that I just might be a hamster on a wheel.

Thank you so much for the comment and for getting my hamster wheel churning down another avenue! 

I am an Account Manager (sales) full-time and have a goal of using real estate as a means to financial freedom and eventually break away from the hamster wheel feeling of my 9 to 5.I am currently in the process of acquiring my first property.

I intend to get out of it as quick as I can - would like to stick to more of the investing side and get out of the hamster wheel of constantly selling (have done a couple wholesales and a flip).
