He gives some good insights on the area and has also started his own youtube channel about investing, worth checking out if you are new to the “biz."

Theres a slack channel invite on my profile where I want to create a space for Lehigh investors to talk.

If you have any question or concerns just place them in the forums and you should get some good feed back there.

Keep feeding the IRA, compounding interest is awesome. 

If you get the promotion try and live at the same level as now (I know it will be hard with another mouth to feed) and put the rest toward that debt.I would go conventional if possible unless you are in a huge rush.

As for the feeds, pex lines make that an easy easy fix. 

I am not looking for spoon feeding... just some real direction where to hustle to. 

Luckily I don’t need the income from the rental properties to live off of yet so what I’ve been doing is channeling all the funds after PITI and management (and charged maintenance for that month) into separate accounts for each property.

Now I get to buy and sell homes, feed my family, and live a wonderful life, lesson of the story is BEING HONEST IS THE KEY, ALL THE TIME, EVERYTIME.

I wouldn't waste time with second tier channels.
