I've listened to almost every BP Podcast, read several real estate investing books, read a lot of forum posts, attended the Erie, Colorado BP meetup group once (can't wait to go back) and even bought my first rental property in Lawrence, KS, my hometown.My profile picture is a picture of me with one of my 'whys', my oldest son when he was a baby. 

He lists seven baby steps to get wealthy.

I took two years off due to having a baby and life situations.

(Preferably within 15 minutes of any major hospital in Omaha)As far as wind chill, we actually lived in Rochester, MN for just over a year at my first job as a nurse, so bring on the cold baby!

HE HAS HIS SECRETARY DO THIS...SOUNDS LIKE IT COMES FROM HER HOME (BABY CRYING IN BACKGROUND).THEY JUST WANT TO GET UNDERWRITING MONEY FROM YOU AND THEN FIND ANY, AND I MEAN ANY, REASON TO DENY YOU.

Especially since the newborn always kept us up at wee hours of the night.  

My husband and I have owned rentals but we recently sold our last one to capture the appreciation and had our first baby.

When you are rich enough to sub-contract the work or have a great manager worry about it, you will know what it takes and what it costs.On that topic... your managed choice better be someone you trust with a million dollars in cash, able to understand electrical wiring plans, and be sweet with your newborn or stern with your wild teen.

Such as going to school or carrying a baby for 9 months, there is sometimes some pain, tiredness, fear upfront, but when you take that risk, you reap the rewards.

The baby boomer's are reaching retirement age.
