I do not have schooling or a career that pays good I'm stuck making $9-$12 / hour jobs & im sick of living this up and down life style, when i finally get my cars paid off and getting ahead i get knocked down and have to sell them to make it then i lose everything i worked for.

I might add, seriously, don't "cold call" me 90s style - if you are local just hit me up on facebook through a local group or send me a text. 

Jim Rohn talks about not sacrificing too much and knowing the future non-financial costs of your decisions today.

You can take your excess capital and invest it passively in real estate or in other asset classes and not loose all the benefits of leverage in your real estate portfolio.There are ways to invest in real estate where you can mitigate risk, reduce volatility, carry leverage, get leveraged tax benefits, get some leveraged appreciation benefits, have cash flow, force appreciation, have high IRRs and control your financial future without sacrificing some of these benefits for the others.  

if you happen to invest in an appreciating market then the market will forgive you the errors you make, real estate is a very forgiving business. but on the other hand, if you are wrong, you will be stuck with it for years to come and becomes a drag to hinder your life style in the coast.
