And no, I don't have a coaching program so I don't have a dog in this hunt.

🤷‍♂️Love this post and what Scotty posted.Congrats on your success thus far.As much as I love real estate and business it never is passive and never will be totally passive unfortunately.There is always a risk component involved and a reliance on someone.There will always be that gut wrenching phone call that makes the stomach turn.It all come's down to how much is enough for someone to live a happy life.I unofficially retired at 28 and am back chasing now at 36.Parents and family are getting older and have a huge will and in a way pressure to retire my old man.A beautiful person and father.I've checked off mum and uncle from the list hahaFew more to go lolI am and always will be a "real estate guy" per se but a few years ago I asked myself this question:"How can I get the highest possible return, with the least amount of risk, without doing any work and without involving anyone else?"

I love real estate, but kinda hate houses.

I love real estate!

Sorry to hear that it's been a dog for you and your partners.

Never heard of them before....but your typical real estate "mentoring" guru will invite you to a free 2-3 hour session, and convince you to come to all day on Saturday or 3 day weekend course for $299-$399, when you are at that course, they'll convince you to be a Big Dog player for full on mentoring at $15,000-$50,000.   

Due to this, the tenant with the dog wants to break the lease because they do not want to get rid of the dog.

If one of your tenants gets bit by a dog, falls off a ladder, etc. and they have a bunch of medical bills they can't afford, they almost have no choice but to sue whoever they can to get the money. 

Haha - hello from a fellow lover of free money from credit cards!
