What I love about real estate is that I can hold it for 10-20 years and I'll have a steady, exponential stream.

My wife has been keeping track of our progress on her blog beginninginthemiddle.net and Instagram.  

I don't feel comfortable being under the gun like this, his goal is obviously not to have a steady stream of passive income.

I'm making progress everyday and I'm confident once the right tenants are in place I'll be smooth sailing.

After about 2 days of each broker offering my progressively better deals in hopes of earning my business, I ended up settling on receiving all of my earnest money back, $2800 in debt payoff, $650 in fee reimbursement, and a slightly better interest rate.

For me that means running my books and seeing what progress I've made towards short/mid/long-term goals.

I think the thing I take for granted the most is good credit and a good steady income.I have been very lucky with my purchases of my homes, but I think I am pretty aware of that.

It is believed that this symbolically brings wealth into the home and will lead to a steady increase in wealth.

I have been making progress in learning how to research local properties owners, also identifying distress properties.

Once I have a private lender lined up, I agree with providing photos of the progress - I feel I'd owe it to keep whoever I was borrowing from in the loop.
