Everyone wants to be rich and successful but after they get off work, it is straight to the couch and complaining about why they have to work 2 jobs to get ahead, or applying for jobs here and there but end up staying in the same old job cause they don't put themselves really out there to grind and network, or not doing enough to better themselves with more education on weekends or late nights.

It can but that “event” will coincide with the noise of the alarm clock in the background.

No thanks, I'm going to continue the grind and use the  more secure method of buy, hold, pay off. 

There is plenty of deals out there for people that are willing to grind. 

Hey Stace,I find that starting with the goal and working your way backwards to your current situation helps cut through the noise.

Bobby you might want to connect with Chris Clothier on this.I have some friends that do it and when you add a few hundred rentals and pay your pm's and all of that maybe 50k to 60k a year for yourself.It's a grind type business built on volume.

Any suggestions for getting traction and parsing the signal to noise ratio?

They are elderly, healthy, retired, live very comfortably, make minimal to no noise at all, very clean and they pay on time all the time.

I want to create owners/not renters who call me in the middle of the night to plunge toilets and complain about noise......

no argument there...i am already working that end of the spectrum. however i don't want to deny myself a chance to make some money in the interim. the reason i put that out there the way i did is because i'm looking to partner with someone and "pay the cost" of not having the key elements (no money,credit) while i "do whatever it takes" to get in the fast lane. my best thought so far is to piggyback on a line of credit using property to secure while i rehab low price homes here in alabama initially. i am offering 2% over the cost of the line as well as 2 points on the draw for purchase and acquisition as well as 20% on the net sale. all the other components are there (knowledge,expereince,construction teams, retailers, marketing and financing through conventional,fha or notes) that is why i am grinding everyday, no is not an option and plan b is plan a...i'm sure you know all the cliches.
