I'm really sure I did everything wrong, I was not knowledgeable nor was I thinking about it as a business, but somehow I enjoyed myself so much I'm now considering getting into real estate investing.My goal is to have passive income (I work freelance so I will eventually need it), as well as income for retirement.

Keep in mind that a 24 month double-up represents a roughly 50% IRR, which no self-respecting syndicator would ever actually promise to an investor (unless they enjoy being sued.)

Overall I really enjoyed it.

But seriously we enjoyed the process and outcome, definitely strengthens a relationship!  

I enjoyed the workouts but not a big fan of doing complicated lifts in timed race like format.Not a huge fan of the kipping pullups either, feels like cheating.Anyone here who has bee crossfitting for more than a year?

You can only good at things you enjoy, you must learn to love this labor. you could become a passive investor in a REIT or maybe get on someone else's deals, but I think you'll find even less interest in that.

Hey Ron,I enjoyed reading your in-depth analysis.

Hi BP community,First time post but I have enjoyed reading and learning from others experiences.

I like finding the deals and do enjoy managing the rehabs.

You (generally) are trying to factor in “personal enjoyment” or “personal use” as your upside.
