Please comment, and feel free to add me on Bigger Pockets or my socials Even with the outcome of this project, I still love this game and believe it is the best vehicle to retirement 100%!!

There were a few slight distractions like figuring out financing, selling a neighboring lot (that I had also acquired via letter writing) on Craigslist, rent out my RV, rent out my house, make my first ever documentary film (a twenty minute short called Kara, Star Of The World about a woman with a traumatic brain injury from a childhood ski accident), take any photo and video work I could get, start a 360 photography company, create social media channels to hype the build, parent two small kids, do a beautiful and excruciating tandem mountain bike ride across Scotland, drive my family on RV trips to Colorado/Arizona/Utah/Nevada/California/Wisconsin/Minnesota/Michigan/Florida, attempt to write a novel and adopt a puppy.The above may read as humble brag, it is not.

Jay,Your comment has me thinking someone could make a private social network where newer flippers can find hard money lenders, and their profile can include assets, experian boost (or experian connect) type of data (Experian boost connects to bank accounts to show financial stability [good for marketing data!])

I haven't gone to Nichole's monthly meetup because I'm a bit of a recluse, but she's been doing it for a good while and I think it's definitely worth a visit if you're less socially-averse than I am lol.
