You want to delegate all the mundane tasks to others and focus on doing tasks that only you can do.While you are calculating the costs of all the raw materials, you also have to calculate your salary into the total cost of writing your own handwritten letters.

Analyze deals, build your network, and educate yourself constantly.If you have access to unique resources (like a VA loan, FHA Loan, or 401K), use them to your advantage!

It will take you literally years to make that kind of money and it wouldn't be passive and you are likely working more hours with more stress.You are in a unique position.

First off, kudos to you for juggling all that – that’s no easy task. 💪 As for next steps, I'd focus on stabilizing your cash flow first, especially with the credit card debt situation.

Way too hard to do simple tasks.

Starting out in a high-cost-of-living area can be challenging, but it also presents unique opportunities if approached strategically.

Quote from @Phil Matheney: I would love to know Dave's thoughts on our unique Real Estate program. 

With platforms like Airbnb or Hipcamp, you can attract travelers looking for unique stays.

As an accredited investor you have access to hundreds of new potential syndications every month (and crowdfunding deals which are the same thing except are allowed to market on the Internet).You may want to start off on a site like CrowdStreet or FinResi , where you can view the variety ( different types of asset classes, strategies, stances) and start to come up with your own method for looking at deals (which matches your unique, personal  risk tolerance, financial situation and financial goals).Thanks Ian.
