This site and community are worth their weights in gold.Since joining BP I can attest to the fact that my REI knowledge and skills have increased tremendously, coupled with the fact that I am being interactive with like minded individuals who are focused and excited about the success of others.BP and its community are here to stay and will continue to be a model for others to emulate.It clearly shows that persistence, hard work and dedication can certainly bear fruit in the building and expansion of a purpose driven platform without spam and other distractions.320,000 members and counting are a testament to the demand for an active and serious community driven REI site.Great job @Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner, as well as the rest of the supporting team and of course the BP community!

I rent out 4 of the 5 bedrooms here and live in the 5th.Lets say I want to go get an apartment/studio in order to increase my productivity and eliminate distractions, and rent out my 5th bedroom.Let's say I want to sell the house at any time within the following 24 months.The 2 out of 5 year rule still applies right? 

Recently, I read the biography Snowball on Warren Buffet.There are many unique attributes that have made Warren Buffet one of the greatest investors of all time: his ability to ignore criticism, his long-term focus, his remarkable ability to devour his way through volumes of books without distraction, his detachment from emotion for investing, his tremendous frugality, and much more.Buffet does have something we can all replicate.

Fortunatly for me I do not have any other ties to weigh me down so, I can soley focus on my business with limited distractions.
