I want to be a bigger fish in the REI world, so I am tailoring my 2019 goals as such.  2018 was a great year for me because I accomplished all of my start up goals to build an inner circle of a trusted team, purchase my first project that was solely for investing, and establishing an actionable/competent/honest/helping reputation amongst local investors. 

at that point only cash OR land that you can hunt fish and grow your own food on has any value.. 

I stress that so much, or your just a small fish in Big pond.

You just feel it when you know you do not want to live like 90% of the population does in the fish bowl and rat race.I disagree about doing something you are not passionate about.

The four wheel drive is rock solid in snow and ice (and mud on the weekends when you're out having fun going hiking, hunting, fishing, etc.).  

During hunting and fishing season about 4-5 hours.

I remember the days in my 20's when I couldn't afford a car, or to move out of my apartment, let alone to stop working and just go fishing every day.

Here was the situation...I graduated high school and started working at a Hunting and Fishing Store.  

When you show up as a new investor to them, the agent already knows that it is not going to be a big fish property, so they are not going to make it a top priority to bend over backwards for you or a cheap house.... understandable, because I am an agent who also gets the 5-10 calls a month from people looking a cheap home for "deals".
