College students GENERALLY dont take the best care of there rentals, its there first taste of freedom for most, and that generally shows.

One of the things that has helped me out a lot are podcast, go to the apple store type flip 2 freedom and just start listening to the podcast.

Overall, the 50 hours you are talking about is investing in your own financial freedom not that of another's.

With any investment, you will loose some of your freedom and create some issues that need to be attended to, it is not retirement unless you enjoy the business.Just my 2 cents.

What inspired me to get into real estate was freedom.

I feel like I can ask this community better questions, understand the answers more and accomplish our common goal - Freedom.

I'm a part time investor since '08 looking to go full time in near future, really want the freedom to do what I want to when I want to.

However, the freedom of working for yourself and watching your net worth grow over the years, makes all that time, effort and frustration well worth it.

Provide more programs for Start ups.Remove The Cap on Social Security.Provide a "Rational" National Health Care Plan.Change Hiring Practices to make it nearly Impossible for Illegal Emigrants to get Jobs.Drug testing for Welfare.Restructure food stamps to be more like WIC.

After all, they own all students through loans going forward, they make the cars, they own the banks, they underwrite 90%+ of new mortgages, they own your health care..... is anyone paying attention?
