You're in great position financially so don't throw all your eggs in one basket.

Str has elusion that it's money maker or break even, great to highlight the fact that break even most likely comes with no mortgage and even then hope you don't have any capital improvements that are needed. we work our strs the same way A great reason to not have all your eggs in the STR basket.

Let's table this for now, put a pin in it, get some synergy going with the boots on the ground, get our ducks in a row and go after the low hanging fruit, then work hard-play hard for awhile, "pivot" to the "new normal", peel the onion, open the kimono, do a deeper dive then have a "come to Jesus" moment and think outside the box.

Unbelievable - sounds like an attempt to steal private property (ie the fruit of one’s labor).

Use texting to reach out to low-hanging fruit.

I own my home in California, I feel like all my eggs are in one basket.

You are in a great situation being ambitious, young, single, no kids, and flexible ... yes, starting out is very difficult as it can take years before you start to see the fruits of your hard work, especially before you lock down your first investments; just have to keep at it and have faith that your hard work will pay off in the long haul, so long as you keep at it.You mentioned sales ...

It was very dangerous to put all of my eggs in one basket. 

That way if you make a mistake (and you probably will) it won't be all or nothing as you won't have all of your eggs in one basket.

You haven't spent one extra dollar that you were not planning to direct to early paydown anyway, but you get the fruit of your labor earlier and I think it makes more sense if you are planning to stop the w2 job relatively young.
