Not purely as an investment but also an exercise for my design and construction muscles.

Once you are in more it is like a muscle the more you strengthen it the stronger it gets.  

Like working out at a Gym to build muscle you must leave one comfort zone for heavier weights, e.g. put down the 20# dumbbells and pick up the 25# dumbbells and then the 30# dumbbells.1031 Exchanging is no different.

I need to flex my capitalism muscles and get stronger.

Put muscle to it.  

On a landlording thread a guy advocates for illegal things, has no clue muscle isnt proper.

It reacts to outside elements like a science experiment, it grows and atrophies like the used and unused muscles in our body…and then on the other side it barely even exists.

But you do not have to flex that muscle.

But mainly, you have to get out weekly to exercise those investor muscles and that's my main driver here.

We have been working hard to GTFO since that realization, and we're succeeding, flexing our frugality muscles intelligently.To get back to the car payment, my wife and I bought three RAV4s in six years, switching them out like furnace filters.
