“The day you plant the seed is not the day you get the fruit.”

This will be my first investment property, so I’m like some others here — soaking up all the knowledge I can!

Take a lot of time to read and soak up information of self-property management.

I soak it up like a sponge!

Beliefs about money being evil are deep seeded in our brains and reinforced daily by the media.

In addition, the formal education allowed me to get a decent paying job that provided the seed money that was the bases of all my investments. 

That could literally be from having seeds/stems or a roach in his car. 

For example, a no hassle, low cost apartment won't soak up much of your capital (which you need for the next buy and hold rental or flip).And--just as crucial--it won't burn up much of your valuable time (with home improvement projects, a lawn to mow, leaves to rake, a porch to paint, flooring to replace, etc).So you can put the extra money and weekends into buying and improving investments properties-- not on a long to-do list for your own place.Best of luck!

A $42k Heloc from our house we lease optioned in CO was our seed capital. 

Right now, I'm soaking up as much education as I can, fixing my finances, building my team and networking with other investors.
