Although I’m just getting started, luckily I've being able to invest in 2 mutli-family properties in New Jersey, it was a lot of work but I really enjoyed it.

What RichDad does not tell you is that it takes a driven personality to build a portfolio and if you have that type of personality you will not enjoy a retired state.

And after a couple of years if you are enjoying it start to scale bigger or faster or both.  

@Tony SchmuckerYou've done great narrowing it down, but focus on cities you and your spouse would enjoy living in—numbers aren't everything.

Each one of those things can make or break an approval and the end goal of cash flow.Feel free to reach out I enjoy helping and those states are where I focus as well as my friends, family and my customers/investors.

I purchased both as a package and for the next six years enjoyed great cash flow as I paid the tax on the house lot annually at about half of what it should have been and neglected to pay anything on the tennis court lot.  

So I missed out on taking a year off with my wife and kids and just fully enjoying the time we could experience together. 

I recommend you figure out what you want to do, then actually do it to see if you enjoy it, have some skills, etc.

If you want to think about it as a math problem, it’s all about where you put your time to maximize returns while also factoring in what you enjoy doing.Picking the MarketI’m the kind of person who gets analysis paralysis.

I was definitely not going to miss the opening weekend haha.A movie is definitely more enjoyable after walking 3+ miles to see it.
