At this stage in my life, these equity plays are more impactful than holding onto a property for a couple hundred dollars of monthly cash flow.What’s your take?

Life it too short to teach people that won't follow through...or to spend money learning stuff that you won't apply.

This requires an income that allows you to maintain your standard of living throughout your life.

Think basic, durable furniture that looks good but can withstand college life.4.

At some point, the juice isn't worth the squeeze for us and we just want to enjoy life. 

So here's a real life  question. 

If heat goes out in the winter we drop off several units, so they can be placed in different parts of the house - including every room with water like kitchen and bathrooms.We also have dehumidifiers, carpet blowers, shop vacs, puddle-sucker pumps, extra hoses, extra sump pumps with battery pack, squeegees, and portable AC units ready to deploy. 

I wouldn't bet my life on 50%, but I would bet they are more problematic than the typical long-term renter.

If you truly want to "retire" young, keep investing and living your life you'll need a ton more.

While I don’t regret anything in my life if I was to go back in time I would finish the real estate degree and go into something real estate when I graduated at 22 instead of doing it half-as**ed for years.
