Coming up on my 60 birthday, so I would like to explore more passive investment options including (1) Hard Money Lending, (2) Private Money Lending, (3) Buying and Selling Notes, (4) Syndication or even, (5) Tax Lien Certificates. 

Mostly renting it out to schools/leagues/teams or having birthday parties for now.  

Any realtor will tell you it isn't evenly distributed; some lenders it's down in the single digits (we find ourselves invited to their birthday parties...), others it's over half. 

When I was age 12 (1992), I got $250 of birthday money.

In a perfect world I'd like to be closing my first deal for my 25th birthday in May.

Today the whole team didn't show up at all and I wasn't notified until the afternoon, and given the excuse that it was someone's "birthday".  

It was just some misunderstanding at that time.Hurt and disappointed I walked out, promising myself that I will celebrate my birthday in my own house.

BP,This question arises from a goal I've set for myself to become a millionaire within 8 years (my 30th birthday) and have a monthly rental income of $10K+ (this is the minimum) a month.So, knowing what you know now, if you could get those 8 years back, would this be possible for you?

My big sister gave me "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" for my 28th birthday.

I had 2 birthdays in between (lol).
