I'm glad to see another road warrior trying to do better for themselves on here, good luck on your endeavors and I look forward to seeing your success story on here.

I have gained enough points to fly first class anywhere in the world for free  ( last year was Singapore an Thailand) ( 14k was what it would have cost for 2 tickets round trip)   and get free hotel for 10 to 15 days.. ( 2 years ago 10 days at the Hilton Waikaloa all for FREE.. simply by being loyal to the brand.I think that is the business man perspective..Not sure how many other road warriors like myself are on BP.. but I fly right at 60 to 70k miles a year and that does not include my private aviation up and down the west coast.So for me personally to save a few bucks and get no perks doing an air Bnb or vrbo in a BUSINESS setting just has zero appeal..I am sure I am in the VAST minority here..And if you have your company paying for it.. they will put you were they are going to put you.

You're like a mortgage social justice warrior that wants to make sure we aren't being too hard on banks.

Really tired of anonymous, keyboard warrior beta males like you cowering in fear who cheerlead death tolls.

I refer to them as the RE world's "weekend warriors". 

I had enough money saved to buy the 3rd deal cash, gut it and make the repairs without taking a loan.I wouldn't recommend this strategy but I'm 37 and have completed many more deals than I would have been able to as a weekend warrior. 

We have heard a lot from the J Scott types who have built a business, but I don't think we have heard much from a weekend warrior type who goes out and gets it done one house at a time as an "S" rather than a "B".

Spent that time arguing with @Joshua Dorkin about the Cavs being better than the Warriors & how I built my company from zero to 250 units under management.

I've always been a weekend warrior renovator and was hands on for all 3 of my primary residences renovations.- I have renovated 3 of my primary residences over the years each time making a significant profit, most recently last summer when I sold my Toronto are home and moved permanently to South Florida.
