I for one, take a lot of what you say and take it to heart.

No one is going to have your best interests at heart more than you will for yourself.

Many people are super-helpful on BP, but there are also MANY people selling coaching or their REI program and they encourage investors to follow any path the ends up with them getting money.I don't think all posts need to be hearts and flowers for the journey because when the market takes a dive again, Bros are going to be in trouble because they are overextended and overencouraged to keep getting doors instead of building their first investment into something that flows better year after year.

The business in itself can be quite lucrative if people truly set their minds to it and go after it with their heart. 

We do a lot of AirBNBs around the world and we always want to be in the heart of historical section or where there are lots of things to do.

What's the use of making double what you make when you are unhappy and will probably croak at 50 from a heart attack?

My name is Chris, I'm 21 and live in Chelmsford, MA (about 30 minutes north of Boston) and I'm new to real estate investing.I'm an entrepreneur at heart and FREEDOM is my goal in life.I currently am a 9-5 slave for an auto parts retailer, I run the commercial department in my store, and I'm desperate to liberate myself from the constraints of having a JOB.

Just wrote a check for over $1000 to buff and recoat 1550 sq. ft. of lovely antique heart of pine flooring that a tenant confined too much.I have a Dalmatian and she weighs in at 60 pounds and she lives on refinished wood floors.

Of course she just thought I was a heartless shark (obviously she wasn't there when I had a heart and didn't bid against the other family) so she just brushed me off. 

The rental numbers are easy to see with just a little due diligence for a 4 bedroom 4 bathroom wi/ infinity pool in the heart of Manuel Antonio.
