For the sake of comparing payoff vs cashout, comparing the yearly cash flow, ROI, COC, etc against what that equity does while having 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc properties would absolutely give all newcomers something to ponder.

When I was at 20, all I think about is girls, parties, and beer.  

The term Goal makes me think someday, and someday is code for "never" in my world.I have one commitment for 2019, when I reach it that means several other success indicators have been realized also(i.e. robust passive REI portfolio, self-sustaining business), therefore, I only list this one:By December 31st, 2019, I will be my children's homeschool educator relieving my wife of her duty as the primary educator, spending no less than 4 hours per day as my children's educator, prior to the noon hour daily.Note: We have four lovely children, 2 boys and 2 girls between the ages of 3&8 years old.

My girls are young right now.

I did not prompt my girl either that I was going to go manic and drop off the edge of the Earth for a few months while I get this started.

Playing basketball, football, talking to girls, working on a car/bike is fine.

Experts in every field make disastrous mistakes all the time, so theres no reason you can't take action and figure things out as you go no matter what mistakes you make.Love the content, and always enjoy everything you guys and girls put out.Keep up the great work!

Move out , the law of averages is against you , sooner or later someone will smell out  your weakness and rob you or your girl friend  or worse . 

I have learned so much business sense, people skills and plain old world experience through my day job.First in my life, I am a husband and a father of two twin girls!

@Paige Marie, that a girl!
