After having listened to the podcast and its various guest, I have glimed some tips that will helpfully inform my trajectory in REI.1) My ultimate goal is to replace my wife's salary within 10 years so that we can replace the time she works with time spent with our kids (don't have them yet but we plan on trying it November so fingers crossed!) 

This is in one part a way to finance my investing ventures as well as a fall back should everything go South (Fingers crossed).

Fingers crossed this loan happens, it’s a killer rate and will save us a bunch, getting ride of the PIM.

@Blake King yikes fingers crossed for you on that one.

Fingers crossed. 

Fingers crossed!

Something wasn't sitting right with me and I couldn't put my finger on it.

@Dave Foster thanks a lot Dave for the information, I’m just hopeing it’s going to be a smooth transaction fingers crossed .

It's pretty rough but the NEAR (Near Eastside Area Renew) is helping things out. 18th Street Brewery is coming in the future... fingers crossed.

Leverage is a very powerful tool in all RE but especially MF.To flip your example, what if you invested $100k and got $8k in cash flow a year with larger tax loss kick backs, mitigated risk upon disposition due to forced appreciation, and you didn't have to lift a finger... let the experienced operator do the work.
