Just like compound interest in finance, small daily habits build exponential growth over time.

Ultimately the purpose here is to enjoy and be happy with your days, if you own everything you need daily, you don't "need" 500k a year.

Mortgage News Daily is reporting rates up 0.21% to 7.13%

Quote from @Rafael Ro: Quote from @Taz Zettergren: @Rafael RoThere are cash flowing deals on the open market, I'm helping clients find them daily but in some situations it makes sense to go with the turnkeys to minimize your risk.

I'd agree with mortgage news daily - the "average mortgage rate" generally tracks very very closely with the 10-year treasury yield (+ a somewhat steady spread) - google and yahoo finance on that are pretty handy

The stock market rises and drops daily (hourly). 

The Housing Wire Daily podcast has great insights into rate movement and forward estimates.

I have been practicing my deal analysis daily, but it's hard to tell if my numbers are accurate without comps. 

Most fields to become world class at something take 5 to 10 years of consistent work and improvement on a daily basis.Today about 21 years in with commercial real estate I have tons of business and also properties I can purchase.
