A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

For his firm, he has chosen to be compensated by managing traditional investment portfolios, so anyone using annuities would take away from his potential AUM so he tries to attract and convert them. 

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and Second Chance by Robert Kiyosaki.

Given that you have already set up essential automations (Hospitable, Pricelabs, Schlage, etc.) and built solid relationships with local services (cleaning company), you might not need a traditional full-service manager.

I am leaning towards the BRRRR method or traditional LR once the right property comes across.

There are bank statement loans, non traditional financing.

Due to more favorable loan terms (and a bit of impatience/ignorance on my part) we went the traditional financing route for the property, with my wife and I both being on the loan. 

And it feels great to finally be cash rich and not just house rich and cash poor which is what I was for the longest time growing that portfolio.   

There are many rich people that end up bankrupt because they never learn to control their finances.By the time you reach 18, you should be able to buy a house hack, giving you a place to live and some rental income.

Even 1% rule is not achievable in Austin for the most part unless you doing some non-traditional.
