Hope you enjoyed it and met some great people - see you at the next one!

So, your growth could well slow or stop either because you're bad at it or find you just don't enjoy that type of business.I don't mean to be a total downer.

You will enjoy it here!

When you have enough of them to pay the mortgage for a single family you can buy it and enjoy your sanctuary :)

@Nancy Griffis Hey, welcome and enjoy the steep and exhilarating learning curve to come.  

My current employer does offer some matching though so thought it was always best to at least capture this, not to mention my employer only lets me contribute up to about $8k towards my 401k.And yes John it seems kind of silly of me, but I work enough as it is at my current job, so when I pick up extra shifts I don't want to do so unless I am getting a decent amount more than base pay as opposed to my calculation of 1.1x base, otherwise I rather spend that time doing different stuff I enjoy like learning about real estate lol (which if it isn't apparent I have much to learn).Thanks again!

Hi Keely,Welcome to Bigger Pockets.I hope you enjoy the site.  

(step-by-step if possible) I'm really systematic and like to follow processes to achieve a goal.I enjoy looking/analyzing deals but I wish I could just utilize my time better by having some kind of direction to follow.Any response or help would be greatly appreciated! 

It sounds like you have a great portfolio already started.I really enjoy answering tenant relation questions, if you ever have any.Have a super weekend

Enjoy, Good Luck and Happy Investing!
