As a kid and even now, I love to walk around wealthy neighborhoods watching the beautiful houses as I walk to think about how to be successful.

ARV is about 120k.. 25k profit for selling a contract is a beautiful thing... however, if I knew how to fix it myself I could have put 20k in it and sold it on the MLS for 120k.

Been to Orlando once, beautiful place!

Passive income is a beautiful thing!

On June 18th my beautiful, healthy, vibrant daughter was born.

I have an amazing wife and beautiful 9mo old little girl. 

Beautiful area.

The whole beauty of real estate investing is that you make your kitchen table dreams a reality with simple business models (buy and rent for more than expenses; or buy and improve and sell, etc) not red tape, endless processes, and the complexity and frustrations you face (or try to escape) in your day job...Like Dawn says with the first baby, the perfect can be the enemy of the good.. probably some investors get too caught up with the analysis to try to be prefect when they could get a good deal done and manage it well enough (whereas the perfect deal person is still just analyzing and daydreaming).  

For buy and holds, I would say speed is less of an issue because you are not getting as huge of a payout in the end.  

You can have a couple of blocks in an area that are beautiful with well kept homes.
