Not "secret" per say but, well, just done in a way to really focus on not being "loud" in the endeavor.

I am very excited for this new endeavor and welcome all of the help and knowledge. 

Jay O.Jay O, First off good luck to you in your endeavor!

Hi John,Converting your existing home in Castle Hills into a long-term rental while managing it remotely from Austin is a feasible endeavor, but it does come with its own set of challenges and considerations.

I also struggled with consistency money making endeavors I picked up.Now that I have a family, even though I make significantly more, I spend a lot more on my family and the reality is that saving more in the stock market doesn't make a lot of difference in when I will have enough to retire (which is currently early 50s). 

That said, I do very much take into consideration the experience of people who are more knowledgeable than me, on whatever I’m endeavoring.

thanks and good luck with the endeavor

I am still grateful for the lessons that this one taught me, and will serve me well in all my future endeavors..

Between all the licenses I already carry for my current business endeavors in different states, I'm not too keen on adding another set of licenses I would need to possibly study, apply for and take a test for then maintain with CE credits in an industry I'm not even sure I want to take on with any meaning volume.  

I am still grateful for the lessons that this one taught me, and will serve me well in all my future endeavors..
