What I learn from Bigger Pocket and my daily work life as an acquisition/contract professional, always put a "subject to"/ exit clause to your agreement. say for example subject to his performance or ROI of mentorship.

This is probably not your cup of tea for now anyway so just move on to something easier.

I own a lot of buildings in Houston and it’s daily (okay more than daily) that I’m contacted by an agent or a syndicator that wants to know if I have anything to sell. 

My goals are to build passive income and eventually be driving a porche 997 on the daily.

These are contractors, realtors, PM's, and they come across deals on a daily basis.

Step 1: Get a job earning X amount of moneyStep 2: Get a second PT job earning Y amount of moneyStep 3: Get a third PT job earning Z amount of money (preferably this should be in the real estate field in some manner)Step 4: Wake up earlier daily, grind as many hours as you can, go to bed, repeat...

Condo hotel will be great for daily rentals.

I check daily, and sometimes there are some good ones that pop up in some c+ class neighborhoods.

I also can't seem to fund my 401K enough because of normal daily expenses.

Make it a part of your daily ritual that it is not a choice but a way of life.I have  a goal over my lifetime to read 1,000,000 pages of material on various aspects of life.
