In Oregon we did mainly timber plays so bigger dollars.. one of my star's was a 700 acre tree farm we paid 1.8 for i busted 10 lots off the front half that i sold for about 1.5.. we held the rest of the land logging it gently each year bringing in about 30 to 50k net in log revenue ( commercial thinning is what they call it). 

I believe financial gain has similarities to exercise. 

There are gentle ways to force yourself to live on less and then route the rest of your investment dollars to real estate.

If you take 6 minutes you failed the exercise.  

The dogs are sweet most of the time but they require strong pack leadership, a ton of exercise and can be triggered suddenly and without warning.

Great stories thanks for sharing I learned a lot from this exercise.

Its much easier to get around at that pace compared to a car, and you're getting exercise!
