But I never liked "work like crazy and drive a Flintstones car and reuse plastic bags until you have $2M, and then put the entire $2M into stocks and hope for the best."

Outside of real estate, I enjoy extreme sports and traveling.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

The college girls are very sweet. 2 play sports on scholarship and work and have told me they pay their own way with their scholarship money, loans, work etc and have good references from previous landlord and credit score. 

And to give you some context on how "rich" the PMs are getting, in case you are wondering for your own PM business, the margins in this business are incredibly slim: We had about $1.3 million in rental revenues last year, and yours truly bagged all of $32K. 

Hi Adelaide,For STR - you are going to get most of your business from all the sports events -- racing - Indy 500, football -Colts, NBA - Pacers, WNBA - Fever (Caitlyn Clark), We just hosted the Olympics swim trials, other events include Big Ten Championships, NCAA tournaments (NCAA headquarters here), and the Combine (recruitment for NFL).We also have a pretty busy convention center -- not huge like Vegas or Orlando, but it is solidly booked year round with events like ComiCon, GenCon, Firefighters Association, Future Farmers of America, Candy Expo, and various others.For MTR, you are looking mostly at traveling nurses and medical personnel, you also may get contract workers for the larger corporations like Lilly, Sales Force, or Rolls Royce.Happy to hop on a call and discuss further.

The real estate in this case also happened to be phenomenal and McD's crushed it out of the location so not only did the interested parties feel that they could take a lower return in exchange for the lower perceived risk that McDonald's would ever close this location but they also knew that the underlying real estate had inherent value and they wouldn't be left holding a bag if McDonald's ever did close that location.I would also note that there are other things to be cautious of when reviewing deals on a cap rate basis.

In a pot i put quinoa, a bag of mixed frozen vegetables, lots of water, 2 bay leafs, salt, pepper, olive oil, 1 lemon, black pepper, italian herbs, 1 habanero (which i pulled out later).

If that doesn't work, show up to a public city council meeting with a plastic bag filled with the litter.
