As with every profession, there are good and bad seeds.

Thats the reality, you gotta put in the work, plant the seeds, and be patient.

Soak it in like a sponge.

Bunch of folks varying from experience levels and a beginner like myself was trying to soak up as much as I can.

Soak up the podcasts!!!

It might be a good place to go to soak up info and bounce ideas around.  

Should we focus on rapidly growing our cash, or "seed" as I call it, and try to do wholesale deals and fix-and-flips and grow our seed to a much larger amount before buying rentals, or should we invest all of our "seed" now and buy and hold rental property and focus on cash flow and appreciation on that house?

It would release some good seed money but kill a perfectly good asset that would generate cashflow (my goal is staple passive cashflow).

I visit 3-4 times a year for a soak at Ten Thousand Waves and some good food, perhaps we can grab a beer up here or down there. 

Some principle as a 401k plan, the more you use for seeding in the beginning, the faster your investment will grow.
