I have sold some over the years to other investors so if anyone has an interest in them to collect or let ride (they can be renewed anytime and are good for 12 years) feel free to contact me.   

You're just along for the ride.  

I bought my first 3-fam in December 2015 and it's been a relatively easy ride so far. 

I'm a buy/hold guy, working my way towards my "freedom number" so i can get good at riding motorcycles and giving back.  

If you want you can go that path and enjoy the ride.  

Hey guys so I'm about to start my first mailing list soon, I'm doing it the old fashion way by handwriting them.

With Toyota and the other large firms coming in, yeah, Plano is way hot and the surrounding areas are also riding on that steam. 

Its been 25-30 years since Ive done anything with building, rehabbing, flipping - albeit like riding a bike, it seems to be a skill that you dont forget.

I actually work near there (behind USC baseball field) a couple days a week and my wife and I ride through that neighborhood quite often looking for property. 

I really do hope that you and I are just the two vocal examples of the fact that investing can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
