Once you do, you need to figure out what return on your assets is needed to reach that amount of money by your X birthday.

Hapy Birthday BP Nation!

Oh, and Happy Birthday!

I am going to start offering several options to them & have them pick one (1 yr contract) or two items (2 yr contract) (ie, paint room; free maid cleaning; clean carpet; microwave range installed {if i was gonna do it anyway}; free hours of a handyman. people love free stuff.i drop off cookies/candy, etc on their birthdays & xmas. cost me $5 but they go absolutely nuts about it. they know other landlords won't do the little things to make them feel special.we're in the people business. most renters get viewed as scum by the public but they're people just like us & a lot of 'em are very nice.

Happy Birthday BiggerPockets!

When my 18th birthday came around I was ready to do something else, I invested $2500 in earnest money on 5 condos which were $60k a piece.

I did, but it was my birthday date with my wife, sooooooo... yeah.Plenty of games left in the season!

But outside-the-city locations pretty much only bring in visitors for vacations (which almost always happen June through August), Christmas, and Thanksgiving, with the odd visitor here and there who's celebrating a birthday or anniversary.What all that means is that you have to plan carefully.

People at the post office asked if I was inviting a ton of people to my birthday party with the colorful invitation-style envelopes, haha.I'm not wholesaling, but instead looking to purchase homes myself as flips, so I'm also excited to see who calls from my first batch.

They all give motivation and inspiration like Allen you gave me a new goal for my 18th birthday thanks man.
