After day 1 of our multi-day negotiation, my counterpart had just started pumping milk towards the end as she was a new mother, followed by the owner introducing me to all the extended family within the organization I'd never met before, and capped off by physically walking me through to meet the employees that he had personally hired from his church groups.

I then let that cash flow grow without touching it other than for repairs/maintenance and recently recycled those cash flows to buy two more out of state 4 plexes that should cash flow about the same as my first including management fees!

If trash and recycles are sorted out incorrectly you get hit with a $100 (up to $300) fine from the sanitation department each time.

Accounting would be good if you're a numbers guy and can afford the cocaine you need to get yourself through it :) jk.Even if you get your degree in a totally unrelated field to RE, you can STILL be a success in investing, and that's by using your ability to recycle all your profits back into your investing.

I'm buying my first house this spring, hopefully a duplex so I can house hack, and then save for the next, and do the BRRR, ending with a cash out refi so I can recycle that money to buy the next one.

There are RE cycles.

Use the calculator.If it doesn't cash flow,walk.Don't go beyond 75% LTV.All these boys on BP posting "success stories" and doing BP podcasts on how they went from "0 to 1000 units in 6 months" will be the first to leave the game for good.They'll all be dinner in the end.Those of us old enough to have seen more than one RE cycle see through the veil.Don't be that guy.

Same with loud music at parties, parking on the street and a really big one is the garbage recycling.

New Yorkers will go from having an IQ of 0 to 900 when you say those words because now your putting them and thier family at risk and then you will find yourself with tenants milking the system by living rent free for almost a year.

This is called the BRRRR method, and while it requires a little more work, it allows you to recycle your money faster.
