Hi everyone,My name is Ben. I am a 19 year-old from the greater Boston area attending Fairfield University in Connecticut. Like many of you, my dream is to own an empire of income-generating assets. After listening to...

Operating a building is another discipline. 

Stay humble, discipline.

@David Muscovalley if you are disciplined then a heloc is a good source to start.

Kudos for taking a step back and looking at all other opportunities to profit from the property, but you need to gain the discipline to simply execute your original exit strategy.

Do they have disciplined limits and do they do research on each property prior to making a bid or will they just continue on aimlessly?

I do understand the numbers behind using debt though, so it is going to take discipline if I really want to make a choice to stick to a debt-free investing plan.  

One of my favorite quotes from Jim is “Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day”.  

If I were doing it all over again, or I got displaced to a new location and market and were starting all over, I would find a broker that is killing it in the space I wanted to be in and literally reach out and ask to work with them.That’s my .02, sorry for the long post.. but yeah, do that, be disciplined with your leads and hold yourself accountable and try to get into a space in the real estate world you really enjoy and you should do great.

This minor habit has major implications for my net worth because it's part of the discipline running my life.I learned the Financial Freedom day concept from Van Tharp's book Safe Strategies for Financial Freedom when I read it back in 2004.
