I've progressed from owning fixer upper duplexes in the north end of Winnipeg where I would do the renos myself late into the night; to purchasing large apartment buildings to acquiring properties in 13 different cities across Canada and the United States. to now buying office buildings and institutional-grade grocery-anchored retail centers leased to national tenants and publicly traded companies like Walmart, Safeway, and Loblaws.Before 27, I achieved lean FIRE, all thanks to the inspiration and fundamental concepts from the BP podcast and the incredible people I've met along the way in this entrepreneurial journey by betting on myself, committing to lifelong learning, and nurturing an insatiable curiosity.If someone like me, who barely made it through high school and would be considered "unlikely to succeed" by my peers, can do it, so can anyone reading this.

I got into notes in an odd way.

As soon as our lesson was over, this dude would loudly shout to his daughter, tell her to go to the local betting parlor, give her a  wad of money and a list of bets to place for him.

I get low DP, being creative and all that, but I bet skipping proper title DD on top of not knowing how to handle hazard or title insurance beneficiaries will blow you up. 

But when we began to ask questions and explore the site, something seemed odd.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

You bet @Dan Guenther!

Hi Allen,It seems odd the lender is pushing for the 10 year ARM product when you are willing to pay 0.50%.

66% LTV is an oddly specific number.

While that is the law, nobody redeems....I'll bet 1% redeem, so I would just count on never getting that.
