I make a reasonable income despite only working for 10 months a year and I can mostly make my own schedule, which is generally nights and weekends, leaving my mornings, days, and winter months free to learn REI.The downside is that being a 1099 contractor, i pose a risk to conventional lenders (so i believe?). 

Good Morning All,I am a newbie in Parkville, MD and so thankful to find Biggerpockets (it has been a great source of information).Best,Michael

@Marcia Maynard The technician was there for an hour this morning and his conclusion was.... 

I think I am going to start with small habits and just ramp them up every week of the competition, use the HabitRPG app, the 7 minute workout in the evenings and a longer workout in the mornings (P90X or running).

And I got a call this morning from a tenant .  

I myself have just gotten into the learning phase of REI but im anxious to get started.

The night and/or morning before, read over your lists a few times.It is a confidence boost and will put you in the right frame of mind for showing them why you are the best candidate for the position.You will also be guided by the questions they ask you. 

Good morning all.

I set my time at 0530 in the morning for 1 hour before work.  

I did a 20 hour day once (ran new underground plumbing out to the sewer main and had to finish by morning) and I promised my self  I would never do it again.
