Who knew being a real estate investor was so glamorous 😂😂😂 No big deal, and makes for a funny story 5 years from now when you're dealing fat stacks all over town :) .

Eventhough we were born with good genes and my younger brother died when he was about 35 and had Lukemia that took his life.I have much to talk about but it can wait to later.  

Margins that small... if your vacancy rates are a bit off... management isn't performing right, a lawsuit or two, and you're in the red and getting a fat 0.Am I wrong on that? 

I also found that investing in business/real estate/mindset books is not only cheaper compared to the hundreds poured into college textbooks but also more applicable than gen-eds that are soon forgotten the next semester. 

The current COAs areA. buy a house with cash do a live in flip over 2 years, refinance with VA loan take the money and continue to investB. rent and take that fat stack of cash and invest in a 5-10 unit apartment and start to build the empire.

But due to Harvey, even my best contractors were overloaded with fat margin work from insurance companies and non-investors from Houston to West Louisiana - I was SOL and on the search for a new crew.Lucked out a couple weeks later and was able to assemble a small crew to help with all the finishing bits and pieces.

Take a hard look at your finances and trim the fat.

(first they came for the trans-fats, then the soda size, etc...) 

Right now I'm basically doing pay-as-you-go here-and-there gen-ed courses, but I plan to start pursuing a Mechanical Engineering degree in the fall at ISU....maybe.At this point, I have nothing but 200 dollars in savings, and a total of $10k in debt.I moved home for the summer, but rather than get another job as a server, I feel motivated - compelled even - to pursue something bigger.

I can remember one investor, whose buyers got their LTV cut, the deal was real fat.
