I think I messed up the previous hyperlink and I'm not sure how to edit it.  

My 5 year plan is posted on the fridge and is on the mirror of the master bath as a constant reminder.I do not believe that all your properties should be paid for before you leave your day job.

If you watch them long enough, you actually start to mirror them.

I 100% agree with what @Travis Timmons says above, his journey described above mirrors mine a lot, albeit his numbers look a little better haha!

How do you use the @+person hyperlink tag?

And let's look at jobs market, where if you can fog a mirror, you can have any of about 400 jobs in 48 hours. 

Things like the GRM, etc. are just not a good indicator of how your Investment may perform except for TODAY.The reality is that you need to drive your Investment Vehicle like a Car.If you look ONLY in the Rear View Mirror, you will not see the Obstacle in front of you and will crash your Investment Vehicle.

That's like the "Zombie Loans" where if you "put a mirror up to his nose and it fogs up" give him a Mortgage! 

For example, kitchen (cabinets, counter tops, and appliances), painting, roof, stucco, windows and doors, plumbing, electrical, rough framing, finish framing, landscaping, bathrooms (toilet, vanity, mirror, tub, wall tile), flooring, etc. this will allow you to (after you walk many homes and practice) walk through a home and quickly add up a repair estimate my each category of the home.

@Mindy JensenThey are just a mirror site that harvest properties from HUD/FNMA/FREDDIE and it appears Auction.com and others as well as I did a search and recognize many of the properties.
