So the real question you should be asking yourself is what do you want out of life?

Increasing your touches with every person in your business life cycle is never a bad idea.

Glue fittings is usually where PVC breaks (I was a plumber in another life).

I got a 15k lesson in that one this last year and two other BP members got even more expensive lessons with this one frequent BP poster  :)  I can laugh because 15k is not going to change my life.. but other investors this could be serious Its why I am in the 1% of  BP frequent posters ( and it could be far less than 1%) that think that paid training is one of the best ways to actually get going in this business as opposed to thinking you can listen to a few pod cast read a few blogs read BP until your eyes bug out and your all of a sudden going to be a successful RE investor...

I have talked to multiple lenders who will do a commercial loan with a 15-20 year life, no balloon.

It is entirely different from real estate, but I decided that my life wasn't the right fit for real estate (land lording) at this time.  

Hi I'm a young ambitious man whose really looking forward to changing my life with REI, I am very coachable and take instructions very well I want to learn all there is to know and would love all the help I can get.

Congrats on having the foresight to begin your investing at this season of your life!  

But the hours stink - - split shifts, conflicts with your life and family. 

The kids, wife and life have slowed me down.
