Personally, I'm glad for the people who have no net worth and spend all their money on BS.

I've spoken with my financial advisor and ran the numbers where spending 5 more years in my W2 sets us up for the future but it's taking all my attention and I can't focus on real estate, plus I’m miserable.

Otherwise you spend year 1 paying yourself back for the furniture (if you're lucky) and then hope to make a profit in year 2, only for your lease to possibly change terms, losing all of the time you put into building your brand.

Go to court, have your attorney see about transferring it to superior court where they will need to get an attorney and spend some money.

I'm currently looking at using a company and they charge $2000 month for managing the campaign plus a ad spend for 4 properties.

Unfortunately, human nature is such that if I do spend hours, days, months vetting a sponsor, and ultimately sign off on them, I will already be biased to accepting the next deal they offer, regardless of whether it is good or not.  

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

You can spend as little as $100 to form an LLC, or you could use an attorney and spend $1,000 or more.

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

I would spend time on carpets / flooring and paint.
