I took a lightening fast shower, ate breakfast and was on site to look at the property before 8 a.m.When I say you have to stop what you’re doing, I mean it.

Some of these 2-3 flats ate up a hell of a lot of our time. 

My first property was an alligator by my standards today, because it ate me alive.It was a very small SFH (2 BR, 1BA) that I bought for $55K in 1983, lived in it for two years (single at the time), then rented it out for two years before I sold it (90K) to buy a house with my wife.I rented it for $600 which barely covered the mortgage, let alone anything else. 

@Chris MessersmithI think the computer ate my link...http://realtormag.realtor.org/commercial/feature/article/2007/01/getting-started-commercial-real-estate

I thought it was cool, but I'm the mom who took my middle-school kids to stay in a travellers' hostel in Mexico and ate from the food trucks . . .  

We ate well and shopped at Whole Foods.

I rarely splurged on any frivolous purchases, I never ate out or drink when my friends would invite me out, and made sure to have a strict budget where I eventually saved 50% of my income.

I came to Birmingham 2 days ago for work and I won't lie, I ate my words, anything negative I had previously said about Birmingham, I take it all back!

Looking a ted confused the clerk asked me “where was my office located.”

Thank You @Adam Cherko1 @Mindy Jensen: An inspiring story from an inspiring woman delivered candidly and in a comfortable environment, where multi-millionaires and in-debt college grads (myself) ate pizza and drank luke-warm beer while discussing any and all aspects of real estate and building wealth.
