And rich dad was computing the compounding interest over the next 40 years. 

There is also a difference in primers and what they are for, PVA primers are for new drywall, seals the paper and any of your joint compound.

@Bob Bowling As Warren Buffett once said " The eighth wonder of the world is compounding interest and if you understand it, you will be very wealthy." talking about long term benefits of dividend stocks.It does nothing but teach you how to save money @ Bob Bowling as the money is coming out of the equity in your home and is completely worth the grand price of 600.00 in savings yearly in interest if you had just saved the 10k and then placed it against the note at the end of the year.

Not just vaping, like I mentioned grease from cooking and candles are a problem too.There are hundreds of different vape compounds and devices.

Ultimately it makes sense for us when you compound the returns and the appreciation, because you go from $1200 to 2400 in rent, but in San Diego you do not have the same RSO requirements, so they are just trying to extort your profit...just my 2c

@Daniel Haberkost to answer your question, i live 1500 miles away from my rentals. as far as challenges that are specific to the rent by the room strategy, i would say there are not any additional challenges by living far away. all the challenges are borne by being so far away but it doesn’t really compound itself over just renting a whole unit. if you don’t live close, you will need a PM or will need to put together a trusted team. i chose to put together a team and am very happy with it. you will still need a way to deal with some of the bs that goes on with this strategy whether you live close or not, like the dreaded and oh-so-common..........................................food stealing.

If you can get into some deals in the next few years with good returns, the compounding effect has a long time to create some serious wealth.I would recommend you start attending some REI (Real Estate Investor) meet ups in your area. 

Nobody is talking about that fact that their 401k just lost 7% and will probably continue to do so potentially year over year compounding down.It also means that real estate got 7% cheaper, which offsets about a thrid of the national appreciation gain last year (about 20%). 

Also, the agent has hold the client info's (i.e. financial status, bidding strategy, etc.) privileged. 

For books I would suggest; Millionaire Next Door (teaches you that millionaires dont have exotic cars and mansions), then Rich Dad Poor Dad (Teaches you fundamentals of cash flow and compound interest and discipline), Then get into the real estate books (How to get started in Real estate by Brandon turner, Crushing it, what every real estate investor should know about cash flow, and the BRRRR strategy are great places to start.
