will be worth their weight in gold. 

I am a newbie as well and so I don't have a lot of sage advice, but I think I have a couple gold nuggets to share.I think when you are starting out putting together a team is very helpful.  

Stay with  your plan for another year or so and evaluate whether  you should sell tax free or give up the tax free status.  

But like everyone has pointed out, a car is a tool, not a status symbol.

I have already nailed down one goal for this year (being a guest on a podcast) now I am so close to my commercial property and this will add 21 units to my portfolio and accomplish a flip!!!

I’m guessing most REI folks would say ditch the property but I am constantly being told by family, friends, and randoms that I should NOT sell my house… main reasoning being that owning a house is like gold in silicon valley and that I would not be able to afford to buy back in if I decided to move back.

I assume this because along w the Pro status you get access to all the analysis tools.

I keep remembering what I heard a guest (Serge) say on a podcast: Multi-family is a very competitive sector, with very small profit margins.

Listening to many guests on the podcasts, they have led me to purchase Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki, which I have not begun yet but cant wait to start.
