- Generate $5k in monthly income within the 5 years.My ultimate goal is to create a portfolio of cash flow positive real estate investments to:- Help my father retire so that he can travel with my mother, enjoy life, and discover new hobbies and passions.- Allow me to make jewelry because it's my passion, not my passion that pays the bills- Free up my time to pursue travel and my interest in martial arts. 

I am currently working an 8-5 job and want to get into something I would enjoy more.

I’ve been interested in RE investing for several years, as I’ve found that I’m good at digging up opportunities and closing, and I enjoy crunching numbers and analyzing problems.I’m interested in meeting people who have set up private money / private equity deals in the past, especially if it involved single-family residential buy-and-hold strategy.I’m also looking at pulling the trigger on the local Lifestyles Unlimited seminar, because I have a lot to learn, and also because I want access to what Lifestyles considers “best practices” in what will be my market.I’m happy to hear all sides of any idea and my hobbies include playing devil’s advocate and drumming at my local church.

Really good podcast I enjoyed everyone and enjoyed listening to Chad, Brandon, and David speak.

got to run  enjoy your weekend.

I analyze all my big "fun" purchases as much as my business ones. my mindset is always...can I sell this for the same or more later regardless. the cash to buy the lambo wasn't refi money, however more of my personal spend money was taken to fulfill the purchase than to other personal areas like vacations, eating out, etc. and my daily is a workhorse civic too ;)most of my rentals were bought using cashout refis from previous purchases so I understand if worse comes to worse and I sell at a 20-25% discount, I would basically be netting 0 in terms of buying/selling. however I would have gained all the cashflow over the couple years. again, this would be a worst case scenario.

Turned out we really enjoyed it and are now looking to buy our 2nd investment property.

I am really enjoying the BP community and how there are so many willing to share their advice and experiences.Thanks,Andre
