@John Sharpe Woah....it's fascinating to me how you put that...

And the fascinating thing to me about this topic is that I wouldn't say you're necessarily wrong, while many could make a good case that you are- again, no right or wrong, no one way to skin the cat.Isn't cash flow what you really want at the end of the day?

Much like @Ryan Williams, my big "why" and BHAG revolves around financial freedom and helping other achieve financial freedom themselves.I am fascinated by travel and learning how other cultures, and other human beings choose to live their lives.

This last point makes sense but it's also fascinating, because buying in April will get you immediate cash flow, boosting returns, but buying in October will mean operating losses until the next season bookings start to come in -which I had to account for in the numbers.

The art of creative financing and real estate in general is fascinating and I am ready for the journey!

I've been "fascinated" by the whole "Bank on Yourself" concept for years but have never grasped it firmly enough to take the plunge.

@Jay HinrichsSorry I’m relatively new to responding on these things but I’m truly fascinated by something you just said that I’ve noticed around my area -What happens usually when you start seeing fewer home owners and more renters in an area?

The only real estate "course" I've ever wasted time on was $150 for a three-day seminar that I was 100% positive was a scam, and it was, but I wanted to see the details of how the scam convinced people to give up more money because I am fascinated by this sort of thing.

It's always fascinating to me to hear people's reasoning.Often times it's easy to fall into the SFH $100 cash flow per month trap.
