Fast forward to now, and the company has grown exponentially, and was also purchased in June of this year.

This will be my 3rd property that I've purchased in in last 5 years, so its been really cool to see how the dollars from my first home purchase in 2017 have grown to what it is today.

I've met and mentored some younger investors; appeared on a few podcasts; and grown my portfolio bigger than I thought I would, a lot of the courage to do so coming from watching and listening to those who did it before me. 

For you to live on the cash-outs, you'd want to avoid the penalty and cash-out when the equity has grown.

(Terms)....and the success of all deals can be measured by two things:1 - How quickly the cash flow will recover the REI cost/DP (less than 3 years).2 - How quickly the paid for equity (DP) can be duplicated by the "free" equity (appreciation), so the property can be sold and the cash from the sale can be moved forward and grown exponentially (less than 5 years).

Today we are all over the Southeast, US and have grown the company to several thoudsand units via value add and groundup developments.

In the past year and a half, I have grown increasingly tired of the in and outs of land lording and am having a harder and harder time dealing with tenants and finding decent labor.

You need to sift through a lot of bs to land on some legitimate and meaningful connections.Out here in real life and on biggerpockets is where I've grown most of my real network.

My brother coached at TCA back in 12-16 and I haven't been over there since but I've heard it's grown a ton.

Your goal is going to take some time and your kids my be grown and gone before you reach it an can start providing those benefits, to them.
