@Andres Triveno, operating the LLC 100% means that we sign contracts and other documents as member or manager of the LLC instead of using our own names, we have a business phone instead of using our personal phone, we have a business checking account for business spend.

There will be much more government spending and jobs created in Mcallen to secure the border, leading to continued population growth.

If that is you, stop all of it and spend at least one hour every day looking at deals during the week and 5 hours on the weekend driving around and looking at listings and neighborhoods!

Are you thinking government spending is going to actually get cut and inflation was just a flash in the pan? 

A real estate pro is spending their time in real property business.

But due to spending so long in grad school and having one income and a much lower salary for most of my career, I feel behind on retirement.

The 500-hour rule means spending at least 500 hours actively managing your rental property, which could include things like tenant communication, maintenance, and bookkeeping.You can also group multiple properties together as one “activity” to make reaching the hours easier.

You might be unrealistic on what you have to spend, or you're looking at the wrong types of deals. 

Meanwhile, Paces clients very slowly build up their capital, but we all know the majority will spend it and come right back to the group to let Paces organization fund it so he continues building his wealth from all of these "gators".Do I get annoyed hearing about this every day..YES..Do I think it was a great form of revenue for Pace..YES. 

It might be more that you are willing to spend to get a good place.
