We have 2 sides to our business--the high end, high strategy, fully custom site (http://www.enthusiastinc.com), and a turnkey (no pun intended :) ) service that allows folks to get a simpler custom site starting at less than $1000 (http://www.corecanvas.com). 

Food for thought (pun intended :)

and yes they take a circuitous route to the money  NO pun intended..  

Is there any point when you say you're getting to being a man of a certain age that you "retire" your debt (pun intended) or do you just stay leveraged? 

I will go look at it tomorrow so lighten up (no pun intended)  @Richard C. 

In fact, I just got through selling off all of my Phoenix properties for this very reason + I think it is possible that I will not get a better selling opportunity in the next few years as I got with this summer's hot market (pun intended).The only other thing I'd add is that I've "flipped" every single property I've ever purchased, I just flip them to the rental market and not the sales market, so a hybrid approach is also possible.

The purpose of the article, and the message I'm sure Scott would hope you'd take away, is that house hacking a multi-family property and living frugally will open a significant amount of doors for you (pun intended) in just a few short years.

@Chris Simmonsresponse though seems that holding long term capitalizes (no pun) on the sale for "I now flip houses after they have rented for a year...."

Callers from this tend to be higher quality leads because you chose the pool that received them.Listsource.com is the #1 list source (pun intended).  

I'm only 27... yet I feel the urge to say "back in my day" we didn't have make believe fairytale lands selling fairytale land (pun intended) for real money.
