Do cardio and weights (not just cardio)4.

I haven't fully decided if to do the license route or just dive, so I am just trying to weight out my options.

I only say that because dealing with contractors is a PITA so if you have one on your team he is worth his weight in gold in my opinion.

My duplexes do receive an income approach to value when appraised, but because it is residential, the comps carry much more weight. 

We're fortunate in that the weighted average interest rate on both her and my student loans are pretty low.

But they are worth their weight in gold.

If real estate takes up too heavy a weighting in your portfolio, then you'll be hurt more in a recession, deflation, hyperinflation, or depression.

An unrecorded Quit Claim Deed in Washington State carries the same weight as if it were recorded.

Doesn't necessarily need to be something monetary but even the possibility of hiring them for your properties could be value.After a couple times of doing these, you'll have a better understanding of the process... but there will still be variables (labor, materials, your exit strategy also carries weight as well, whether you're going to fix-and-flip to a retail buyer or rent it out.)

Those neighbors aren’t pulling their weight because good tenants pay market rents .
