Money Mustache got me going on the financial runway/starter capital race.

As one of his students, my uncle recommended we attend Brad Sumrok's "Rat-Race to Retirement" seminar in Dallas.

People may initially be impressed but they'll soon realize you're just pretending to race and not actually going anywhere.

I used to live on 2nd St and have a couple 4 unit properties on that street and I can tell you that currently in that one-way section it's a 50 mph highway that often times will have some drag racing between lights. 

@Patrick Connell NC is a "race state" (nothing to do with your comment) and if a transaction is not recorded, a subsequent transaction takes priority over the prior.

I have about had enough of the "rat-race" and I'm ready to become financially free thru real estate investing.

You should also get a good snow shovel (hardware store) and maybe a broom - there will be small areas, like steps, where it will be hard to use the snowblower.For the lawn, if all your grass is within 100 feet of an outlet, and the lawns are relatively "open", you might consider a corded electric mower. 

Not to pull the race card, but being black, single woman in Fredericksburg doing business in many capacities have been difficult for me.  

My mother handed me Rich Dad Poor Dad in 2000, when I was only 14, from then on I always new that the proverbial rat race wouldn't suit me well, and in many ways it transformed my financial acumen moving me from a non-investor to a passive investor at a very young age.
