I’m working from home supporting international assets so my days are free for researching, webinars, analyzing deals etc.

The plan remains the same now as it did years ago - generate revenue from the W-2 job, use the capital to support our LLC properties should we see the need for repairs or defaults occur on rental payments, use the capital to find deals as they occur, and avoid becoming over leveraged.
