I am going to work first to test my will power and then invest in the easier options.

I have been trying to explain to my wife that there is a "threshold" in real estate business where it takes a lot of effort, time, creativity, and will power to get to, but once you get there momentum takes over and your business really starts to take off. 

You will get bogged down in minutia and use up your will power solving all these "technical" issues.

Good luck to all the up and coming investors that have the will power to risk.  

I have two rental properties, one in Minnesota and one Alabama. I am currently living in Arkansas and about to close on a house which will be my primary residence.  I want to make arrangements so my sister can take ca...

I actually purchase expiring tax certificates from people who don't have the time, money, or will power to file for the tax deed. 3) I assume these fees would not be shared with the other tax certificate holders, i.e. the one who actually applies for the tax deed is the 'lucky one' who has to pay all the feeds.

There's a nice chapter in The One Thing that talks about willpower being a muscle and it fatiguing over the course of a day.

Would advise that a realistic investing process, REI, stocks, anything, includes buying the best investment you can find at the time you have the money and the willpower to pull the trigger. 

We'll survive and be stronger afterwards but still the collective willpower doesn't seem to be there.What does your gut tell you ???

The person who has the will power to achieve FIRE will probably end up miserable if they actually retired and had nothing to strive towards each day!
