@Jamie FankhauserHow I Turned 1,000 into a Million in Real Estate in my Spare Time.

My CPA and I are in touch by email since he is currently inundated with tax returns.Every spare moment I have I'm studying and taking copious notes. 

I've been reading 3-4 books a week in my spare time to learn as much as I could about the business.

I did small bits over 3 years when I could spare some money and find supplies on sale.

The are early 1980's construction - nice compact and orderly site. 

Spare the messenger, please.PS.

Spare me the BS James.

I tried to make more by learning software development, but ended up wasting $10,000 on something I a) didn't have the passion to do, b) didn't have the right brain for (spare me the Anyone Can Do It!

It may work out for me to continue to "upgrade" my studio-temple-castle.Then I want to move into "Wholesaling" opportunities, local & foreign, and then Buy-Hold-Rent when I have at least enough capital to have 50% equity or to be able to generate sufficient cash flow from an equivalent of 50% vacancy and large repairs.From here I want to quick jump to small commercial units (Apartments), and tropical (or at least sunny & warm 365 days/yr biking weather) Retirement Haven REI.Once I have sufficient income to be financially independent, with cash to spare to help family, then I'll devote all of my time to my Music and my Sadhana (Spiritual Practices).There's my business plan in a nutshell.
