I've wasted decades being an employee, and I'm ready to get out of the rat race and start investing to provide homes, jobs and communities!

Recent decades have seen Austin’s skyline, business environment and population redefined.

Hi everyoneWow, it's been over a decade since I was on BP, nice to be back.My business partner and I have a fairly large portfolio of SFH's that we purchased as rehab projects using hard money. 

But you want to keep going for a couple decades, and mention interest rates.

The average renter does not stay for a decade or two, even in rent controlled areas.

Little back story on me, i am a local lender in Chicago, been the biz almost a decade.

Agree. 2 years is not much time in REI, you have to think in decades.

And I have been a PML business owner for a decade so it was an easy choice/chance for us to take and had access to funds to pay it off when rates jumped and our interest earnings was negligence compared to the risk.
