I'm looking to lessen the load of work and concentrate on my exit strategy sometime within the next 10 years if not sooner.

Many of the people that come are members of Lifestyles Unlimited so they sometimes talk about upcoming events for members only, but the meeting is open to everyone and they share some excellent information. 

By the time I reach 20% equity (likely 3+ years away), my monthly mortgage payment will come down when I refinance, but $600 is a big hit to the numbers. 

As a platinum member I also have my own team to contact when looking for advice or help reviewing documents.

All in all it ended up taking just over 2 months to get the plans approved because everything had to be done by email.

Options - collect full payment for the 3 months up front and lower the deposit to secure against damages only, require insurance.

Also, keeping an eye on zoning changes or upcoming developments can help you get ahead of the curve.Would love to hear more about your experiences too—what areas are you currently focusing on?

The biggest hurdle you'll have to overcome is accepting breakeven or negative cash flow at the start. 

Hi All - This is a funny request but my fiancé and I recently did an exercise together where we wrote down 10 things we are grateful for, 5 goals of ours for the next two years, and 5 goals of ours for the next five years.

The key is vetting your lender properly—asking the right questions, understanding the terms, and ensuring the numbers make sense for your strategy.
