Sacrificing the rental strategy for some much needed knowledge and hopefully some extra cash!

Majority of financial freedom will not be achieved without sacrificing the quality of life. 

Now it has 4.I then went to take out a 2nd Loan which made me do another appraisal.I went to the buildings department and pulled the Certificate of Occupancy, which showed the building as a 4 Family, not a 3 family.I handed that Certificate of Occupancy to the new Appraiser.The Appraisal came back $350k more than my purchase price even though it was only 2 months ago I closed on the sale.I could have immediately flipped it and pocketed that money, free and clear of anything that could have been thought was wrong.This was a GREAT deal but ONLY if you were to recognize the opportunity.Now, for the real reward.After doing about half a million of a gut renovation back then, which was pretty much paid for because I bought it much cheaper than it was and getting the money from the 2nd Lien bank, today, in the year 2018, it is worth $3 Million... roughly $1.5 Million more than I had paid for it with renovations.This is JUST 1 of 8 deals that I bought.But being more educated than the other side can definitely give you the BIGGEST reward.It's funny how the majority of people on here say you can't make money in NYC... and yet I find it to be the easiest and most rewarding way to make money without sacrificing any of my Integrity.

My lease was up in my apartment about year ago. My wife and I were looking to rent a home. My mother n law insisted that we stay with her until we found a place. While staying there we paid her a set amount which help...

If there are easier ways to get things done without sacrificing quality I'm all ears.

Nobody should be able to live on the public dole without sacrificing their own comforts first.

I'm curious how feasible it is to get into the market without sacrificing too much of my education and career.

My long term goal is to ultimately build a portfolio of cash flowing properties that will allow me to spend time with my future family (getting married in June), have a flexible schedule, and travel the world.I am currently trying to decide which strategy is best for the SLC area, as I would like to keep my first deal close to home, even if it means sacrificing a bit of profit.

Takes a lot of time and sometimes that's sacrificed.

For instance if I offer the seller 105K and to give the better deal to my buyer, I offer him 115K, I will make the deal sweeter for both ends, netting a profit of 10K....I'm not against sacrificing for the betterment of everyone, I just want to make sure my brand isn't compromised while trying to be fair to myself as well.
