This lady was jack of all trades and master of none and running herself into the ground.There are only 24hrs in a day.

Are you a contractor by trade? 

After that, using it to start the BRRR so you can repeatedly grow your portfolio without having to save up a new amount of $40k each time you want to make a purchase, but that works better for SFH, which has a trade off because multi's generally cashflow better and appreciate pretty well.

You can't buy a property at a 10% cap rate in a market that is trading at a 6 cap.  

This has to be the ultimate nightmare tenant, particularly one that knows exactly how to work the judicial system by trade.

I am looking to do almost exclusively personal trades. 

I moved to CA, and got a W2 job, but I'm already sick of trading my time for way less money than I'm used to make bartending, just so I can be seen in the eyes of uncle sam for loan purposes.  

It's tough, because so make workers in the construction trades smoke.

You would have to have silly amount of cash like hundreds of thousands or you would have to do very very risky things like venture capitalism, IPOs, option trading and all that (which is quite impossible for a young college dropout).

I'm sure having the experience of and skill of having a trade will help you in your investing.
