Hi Cannen,Great to see other young aspiring people on this platform!

I wasn't sure if other people at this stage when starting out feel the same way.

I responded to her FSBO ad and made my offer which she happily accepted: a 36 month lease option; I'll bring her mortgage current, (1 month, $800), and continue making the monthly payments; option to purchase price of $88K, (my estimate of value, $100K); and I had the right to buy, sell, sublet, or assign the property at any time during the 36 months.

Passive income and retire early, or leave your W2, get rich quick, replace your W2 income - they will tell you that you can have this wonderful lifestyle and will give you insights on how to get there (that you can get from any business book about grit, consistency, hard work etc) and they will bounce around in their presentations to make it look really hard, and then get you to sign up for the five figure training which is 1 on 1.Whats comical is I am in note space and I can name three people who have high dollar training and one has filed BK several times and the other two owe others millions of dollars from bad deals........
