I bet he doesn't spend $100k a year unless he strokes a check for a car or something.  

At that time my mother had a stroke and Dementia getting worse .

Good post, although a little too broad of a stroke.  

I keep it in my golf bag and pull it out whenever I want to lighten the mood or I'm trying to shave off a couple strokes (pun intended):

Double fault.... 2 stroke penalty...  

Obviously being able to provide value to a potential mentor in some way is best, but just plain old enthusiasm mixed with a willingness to learn, and maybe just a touch of ego-stroking, will go a long way too!

You never know when the local city council can shut your business down with the stroke of a pen. 

Hi All,My daughter (18months) had a stroke before birth.

Half of what you said, mumbo jumbo blabble that does nothing but stroke your own ego, you know it, I know it, it was the entire point of it, say a bunch of technical jargon to look and feel self-important, congrats, achieved, truly achieved, it was very technical, very detailed and 99.2% of persons would need a month of study to know what you said.

With that, you could put 20% down on 3 more 200K properties (40,000 each) and still have 10K for reno and prep on each of the properties.This is just broad strokes - and the devil is in the details - but it helps you see, as @Joshua Janus has explained above, how your pace can be accelerated.
