By nature I'm not a systematic thinker, but I know I perform at my highest and enjoy having systems and structure.

I guess that's where OPM comes in @Andrew Syrios   I need to look further into financing options.Really enjoying this discussion.

We thought we'd be here longer to enjoy them and then sell, but plans change and when we ran the numbers we'd be stupid not to rent.

I am really enjoying the Biggerpockets podcasts, forums and everything about it. 

They found something they were very good and enjoyed doing, then they just chugged away at it, day after day after day.As @Cameron Tope states, building that kind of wealth is grind, and a lot of trade offs are made.  

I’d enjoy an opportunity to meet face to face!

All FIBI meetings support a NO SELLING policy, allowing investors--whether seasoned or beginner--to be free about sharing their real estate passions without sales pitches.Each Pasadena Real Estate FIBI meeting includes organized networking intended to identify areas of interest and possible opportunity, industry experts presenting information and experience on a variety of relevant real estate topics, and open networking sessions to enhance the value of coming together to learn.

I have worked with many agents in California and they have liked my work style but going out of state became more a challenge but I do enjoy figuring out this core 4 and fine tuning it.

So to make the smart choices, one has to spend time educating themselves to learn a specific niche within real estate - it should be a niche that interests them and that will allow them to apply the skills they have and enjoy using the most.

I am building a talented team that I enjoy working with.
