If we tried to plant the whole tree there would not be enough roots to support the leaves.  

(I mean Special Financing Company)...Since REI Hame Changers has chosen to associate themselves with such a s***** business, I would never touch them with a 10-ft pole...On Monday , January 6, 2025, I am going to open up a huge can of whup *** on these people...First I will file fraud charges at my bank to stop any further payments .Then I will personally drive to Missouri if I have to to get my money back.They ( REI and special financing company)will then be charged for everything to do with that trip-Plus I will sue them for the substantial lost wages because I have to deal with this-!!

First, deep relationships with people so that you know them well, they know you well, and relationship continues for many years.  

If a sponsor is touting a 7.3 entry cap in a 6.4 cap market, I'd be digging really deep into how that 7.3 was calculated, and how that 6.4 was substantiated. 

Once I reached that goal, the drive for the next one felt just as strong.Reminder to enjoy the journey and that it’s not about the destination.Every goal you reach, you will enjoy it for a short time, then be on to the next one.How do you balance striving to do better and for more while understanding that it will never be enough?

I also build a drive for dollars list that I slowly add addresses to every month.

Last night, I heard an inspiring story about a mom who brought her young kids along for a 45-minute drive to tour an investment property.

Agents who generally take on small portfolios to manage are only doing so because they're not great agents to begin with.First thing first, I would consider either driving by the properties or contacting the tenants and asking them if they know what's going on with the agent.

It’s ran like a business, not a personal investment.Given the heavy workload I have being the CEO/founder of the wealth management company, my wife has set up a well oiled machine on the property management side, due to her perfectionist drive however, it still means that she's constantly dealing with tenants and toilets and replying to items at all hours of the day and night.

Also, an 8min walk vs 8 min drive is a big difference in the world of student housing.
