@Ned CareyDeveloping a mentor-ship is exactly like trying to find a marriage partner, so true!

I don't see how that is possible outside a relationship with Christ, personally, because some on this board, or in real estate, will endlessly acquire more and more properties, at the expense of their marriages, families, and their own health. 

I have delayed marriage and having a family because there is no way I could work hours like this with kids.

Not to be too gloomy, but people have destroyed their marriages and/or killed themselves after getting buried under crushing debt that they had every intention of using to become wealthy. 

As you get older, marriage and children can radically alter your definition of financial freedom as well :).

I'm not spending my weekends driving my 100 clients all over town and playing marriage counselor (except once in a while), but you're busy doing exactly that with your 30 as a Realtor (and for nearly all 30 too).

@Jon HillGood idea on the fiance thing, if you want your marriage to last it'll take more time and work than investing.

This can all change with marriage and kids, but I look forward to enjoying that part of life only once I've built a solid foundation to build that family on. 

Cost of my marriage, cost of my health, cost of enjoying life? 

This is true if they are married, dating, or just friends.When renting to three or more individuals that are not related by blood or marriage, then I increase my standards so that each individual makes at least 2x the rent and has a credit score of 650.
