, I would not encourage the use of the stock market if you're plan is to use those funds for RE.

Thanks @Daniel Gonzalez & @Rafael Norat for the words of encouragement.

Some people swear by it and I encourage them to do Fix & Flips because it makes them feel better and it ties them up doing "busy work" so I can find the real deals. ;-) Also, I think the market is changing (I know a lot of people don't agree with me and that is fine) and those techniques are ideal when the market changes, I always react "contrarian" to the market and I've made a lot of money doing so.I don't think that it is that people don't agree with you - it is that we don't believe you. 

Matthew Jurica I will be grateful forever that Dave Ramsey's book pushed me to get out of debt and get my finances right.Keeping that in mind, I found myself lost when he encourages to invest in the stock market.

Thanks for everyone's input, insight and encouragement over the years here on BP.Cheers!

And lastly, encouragement for taking my time to find the right tenants.  

It's simple, direct deposit is preferred and highly encouraged.  

@Christi Hawkins @Kerry Boyle @Matt Motil I appreciate the warm welcome and encouragement!

Keep in mind in no way am I saying your aren't doing most of what a PM would do - you just aren't allowed to legally have anything to do with Leasing, so I encourage you not to refer to yourself as a PM to shield you from liability.As for the years of licensing it would take to accomplish becoming a PM (getting back to my "held by a Broker**" bit).... more good news is that you can reduce this to weeks.

Thanks for the encouragement Joe Homs.
