Many people don't want to be a slave to a W2, especially younger generations who grew up with different work/life balance beliefs.

I think the leverage aspect is misguided.

That's really interesting and as a mentor you might want to reexamine that belief. 

I 100% believe majority of people are not so "dareing " at heart, but, because GURU opening teach and encourage publicly in class, even call those "successful" people to stand up and appraise them with the amount of money they raised, so the rest can follow suit, they are turning the evil thing to be a "marvelous" act, surely not 100% people believed, but a good bunch of people were really brainwashed and mis-guided !!!

Contrary to popular belief, this is not set because I believe it will give me a higher return.

So in a long shot, what happens in Congress is a reflection of what our collective beliefs are.

Remember this is your 1st deal, so you will have a lot of limiting beliefs that you'll use as an excuse to not invest.

Your story helps solidify my belief that it is possible with knowledge and determination.My W2 job and high credit score should help with the refi.

Really, just try sitting down with them like they were another equal real estate investor (as far as the level of respect and belief that they are smart enough and willing to work out a fair agreement).  

I actually have no clue what's coming, other than a general belief that something IS coming and it's most likely going to overreach with unintended consequences and be patently idiotic.
