After saying I would never ever get married again,  I married a much younger beautiful woman who never wanted kids(I have a grown child), loves fitness, cherishes me and is a nurse to take care of me in my old ageReal Estate has been my only job other than the US Army. 

My business partner has since grown his mfh business to 22 doors.  

I have 6 children of my own, 2 step children, and 1 grandbaby with another on the way.  6 are all grown with lives of their own and 2 teenagers at home.  

I have watched and grown from Biggerpockets.

I've had conversations with others who've boarded up their properties only to come the next morning and find the wood yanked right off the front.

I've grown up watching my family buy in up and coming areas before they take off.

I agree with @David Wissler his account of Dave Ramsey, and he seems to be a pretty smart guy from how he has grown his business from where he was (at the bottom financially) to becoming a multimillionaire.

This year I have aggressively grown my real estate portfolio and I now own 8 units which are being rented out.  

At the moment I know they want people who will close a deal and not yank their chain because of indecisiveness.

I am not planning on retiring from my career as a software engineer to live off of this real estate investment business until I have grown the cashflow up to $100k+ per year with leveraged properties.
