I worked as an Engineer, but have retired from the rat race due to my passive rental portfolio. 

The Safari is a nonstop endurance canoe race in the dead of summer that starts in San Marcos, TX, and finishes 260 miles downstream after crossing a bay in the Gulf of Mexico.

Keep the units 95% full and you're off to the races.

I started out by running Spartan races, and cleaning up my diet, to eventually transitioning into a bodybuilding and powerlifting approach on things. 

Treating everyone equally means that you would inspect their unit when they fail to maintain it, regardless of race, religion, familial status, color, national origin, etc.

Though some smaller cities have more reasonably paced markets, the biggest, hottest real estate markets in our country move like race horses.

Try not to start an arms race.

I'm going all in because i want to get out of the rat race at a job where all my co workers hate life.

I do understand though that they are a clearing house for many HML ers.. so the actual notes have a higher rate that what peer st. offers.. it just seems like a race to the bottom on yield for the easy to understand residential mortgages.. 

More recently I have been trying to think of ways that I can escape the "rat race" that Robert Kiyosaki writes about in Rich Dad Poor Dad.
