Garrett, welcome back to Texas and I’m assuming I may have see at least one movie in which you were involved in :)Congratulations on making such bold steps to acquire and 400 units in such a short amount of time.Usually investors move from SF to MF as a transition to retirement, but you are somewhat doing opposite.I have good experience in SF flipping but would like to understand your goals - is it using extra time that your 400 units are stable, is it extra risk/reward that makes you going etc ?

My sister in law is a costumer for movies and gets sent all over the world on the studios dime; gets paid with no expenses what so ever.

Not the stuff of glitz and glamour of a Hollywood Movie/TV set.  

My town has a population of about 35k with a wal mart, a mall with a movie theater, and some major stores.

Rent movies from the library

If rents increase over the years the rate of return will increase each year.And I did speak to a couple commercial brokers a few weeks ago and felt like I was talking to used car salesmen from the 80's, or someone from the boiler room movie.

You buy some groceries, you pay for gas, you go to the movies, and your balance goes up to $7250.

should have called me I grew up in the land business.. this stuff is old as the hills.and not much too it.. write letters to buy land in areas that were subdivided years ago and bought as recreational land  ( see movie Glenn Garry Glenn Ross )  then advertise it for sale with LOW down owner carry.. that's the game.. expect 30 to 50% defaults and rinse repeat.Now my dad when he did it bought most of his at tax sales 300 to 500 parcels at a sale.. then would have 3 day event and sell them all for cash.. he would buy them for say 50 to 200 a parcel and sell them for 795 to 1295 a parcel.. but he did volume and that was in the 60's  and early 70s..

I like watching movies, TV and reading books.

I am looking forward to join investment clubs/organizations in my area, books, movies, more podcasts, whatever the case may be.
