It sounds as though you have set yourself up for success. 1) I don't think there is a surefire way to do this, but I would approach it from the perspective of how real estate investing can be leveraged to meet both of your goals.

If you prepare a loan request as shown in that book, you will be set up for success!

Looks like you've had great success over the years, certainly inspiring to someone just starting out.

I will be working very diligently to ensure the success of any project i am offered to work on!

I wonder whether you have had success with a particular lender, or have otherwise moved forward with your portfolio growth.  

It may not be right for you now but if you are successful I’ll bet you will have one.
