Start building close to home and you'll have such great appreciation by the time you're ready for the cash flow to be $20k a month you can exchange out of the low cash flow, high appreciation California market to wherever you decide to retire. 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

I've done a local renovation where I was on site at least once a week and thought I was ready to do a flip or BRRRR OOS...nope.

I'm moving because I'm ready for the paid stuff, and Zoho has a whole suite of software (from social media to work flows to appointment scheduling) and they all integrate with each other.

Hello BP Community,I have  been a BP lurker for many years and after falling out of love with retail real estate- I am oh so READY to get into investing (my first true love).

When you start asking the question, where are we going to get more housing for all of the 20,000 people moving to our valley every year, you look around and say: "I guess I will".Our first project has been over 3 years in process with a handful of friends and my Dad as the primary investor, we are ready to break ground on 17 units of townhomes and multifamily units for sale in West Boise.

Real estate seems to be capital intensive.I think having a business plan, being financially ready to invest, and knowing your end-game before starting will put that person in a better position than others.

Absolutely man, I’ve got a small group of people I know personally who are ready to roll.

But a lot of these builders want to roll up and start putting sticks on the ground, so they want to see essentially everything ready to go to the city/county for approval before they sign on. 

. : - Robert Kiyosaki, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", and "Cashflow Quadrant" - (already have the pdf ready to go.... but also "rich dad")- Dave Ramsey- the more creative way of getting the carryback note down from 40,000 to 30,000 - and using that, to make everyone happy.... and move the deal along- and I also wrote down.... : never give a city inspector the lock box code before you get there lol…. or do try to stand in his way a bit lol -- that's awesome.... gives me an idea for the culture - and what they must be like lol.... anyways, Shiloh thank you so much - I appreciate it a lot.... great first day, checking the site out much appreciated !
