In fact TBC recommends you rely on your 3rd parties heavily and remain strictly as a lender.TBC recommends all the transactions (in the beginning) only be made on NOO investor loans on SFR 1-4 type properties. 6-12 mos, velocity type hard money loans.

Some other less obvious suggestions I have:- Install high velocity toilets when buying a property, a backed up sewer line can cause a lot of damage- Do not have garbage disposals.

Increase the velocity on your money.

The fancy word people like to use is velocity.

Inevitably, it lead to to start reading about something called Velocity Banking.

@Don Ireland look up on Google and/or YouTube what’s called “Velocity Banking”.

Plus...escape velocity...Episode 113 – Jay Papasan - Very practical slow and steady adviceEpisode 221 - Tim Shiner - his concept of equity build up and "shearing the sheep" shows some of the flexibility of real estate vs a 401k Last but not least, I also recommend all the tax advice given by my fellow CPAs on the BP Podcast.

You could use both loans to increase the velocity of your investing.

The financing is better, terms are better, more liquidity in the market, more economies of scale, easier to manage, value is forced at a higher velocity due to lower cap rates, and I could go on and on.

Get the right first jobAs a developer in training, you want a first job that exposes you to the maximum amount of the development cycle with the maximum possible learning velocity (time and speed).
