I decided to invest in real estate after reading Rich Dad and Poor Dad in Nov 2020 and in the past month I have read 2 more books regarding rental property investing.

About 1.4 months of inventory left according to the last Realtor data in Nov. 2020.

.) - the variety allows for greater diversity, less volatility, better rebalancing options through less correlated assets, and less risk of having to sell shares in a down market to fund expensesCurrently focused on tax-efficient investing through capital gain/loss harvesting, retirement contributions, roth conversions, etc.Overall, I filled a lot of time on starting a passion project (blog + podcast) and investing activities this past year and it went by super fastI had fun investing and had incredible returns but am now looking at diversifying the gains in a tax efficient manner by moving large gains from my active portfolio over to passive funds and some innovative growth etfs for a longer-term tilt towards the companies that could be the market leaders 10 years from nowThis post is partly to help me reflect on the year and exactly how I got here and I hope my story can encourage others as well as give them practical ideas that have helped me reach FIRE.

From a technology standpoint, conventional helicopters are so dangerous, expensive, loud, polluting, and generally annoying that almost any innovation is welcome.

They couldn't be bothered for the last few months and they knew in Nov what would happen, it is their fault that they didn't take the opportunity to find another place.

The Civil War was a bloodbath and yet the technological and mechanical innovations that came out were tremendous. 

They had some "innovation" projects that I was interested in and figured would be great for my career.

(I purchased a rental property in Nov. with cash and would like to take the cash out and purchase another home).
