Given their age and position in life… mailbox money flow forever sounds like a good start to retirement to me!

Hey @Brandon LaRose, do you have the ability to use a Margin Loan against a taxable portfolio, or a policy loan against a permanent life policy?

Give me the horse and buggy vs a self driving car with immature software and sensors any day.My point is you should use as much technology as you can to make your life easier without going beyond its limits, and in the meantime always be on the lookout for new solutions that solve problems without creating new ones.

I would pick a market area you like and start doing a bunch of deep dive deal analysis, but from a rental and not a life style standpoint.  

I’m about to be 29 and I’m hoping this really takes effect in my life in my 40’s.

These policies also cover you in all other areas of life like car accidents as well.

You might want to get in touch with @Andrew Freed and Jonathan Bombaci, they are locked into several of the MA meetups which are great ways to connect with other investors in real life.

Bingo: you will get to see all your competitors, their pictures, their amenities, their descriptions and their PRICING.

Ask for its breed, weight, and name, and have them attach a picture.- Make the application part of the lease, with the stipulation that if they've lied in the application or in the lease, they can be evicted.- Tell them they have to provide documentation of the animals service / emotional support (as allowed by your local ordinances), and that they have to provide documentation that the animal is current with its inoculations, etc. as well as its local license before you'll permit the animal in the unit.- Tell them they'll have to provide you with a copy of their renter's insurance naming you as additional named insured, with a minimum of (I use $300,000) liability insurance, also before they move into the unit.It's not perfect, but it's a start toward a tenant transparency.

And it's an asset that will grow with you for the rest of your life.
