I've done some work with construction and enjoy the budget/managing/ work scope aspect of being a GC.

Still trying to determine my ultimate REI focus ...I'm in my late 20's, married, and thoroughly enjoy racquet sports of any kind (racquetball, tennis, badminton, etc).I love learning and teaching; I value a strong community development where I can trust my neighbours and friends as if they are family.I currently have no real estate experience stateside.

Your next primary sounds even worse from a cash flow perspective, but I understand there's more to life than cash flow.From a net worth (longer term perspective), holding on to your practically free 1st house while you continue to build equity, enjoy a low maintenance rental, sounds like a safe way to be a first time landlord.

IF you still enjoy it then you can move into more difficult notes.

I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast.

Good luck in your endeavors.

Here are some great books that I highly recommend that I've read in the past year in no particular order: 1- The Magic of Thinking Big (the size of your belief = the size of your success) 2- The 4 Hour Week - Tim Ferriss (productivity and leveraging technology and 80/20 rule) 3- Eat that frog - Brian Tracy (productivity, focusing on 80/20 rule) 4- Lean Startup Method (bootstrapping and adaptive learning) 5- How to Win Friends and Influence People (classic on working with people) Enjoy.

I enjoyed doing it because I like to stay busy and sweat a little bit since I usually don't have a lot of time to work out.

Thanks @James Vermillion,@Joshua Durkin and@Brandon Turner. Josh and Brandon you guys really do a great job with the interviews! Have you guys considered doing a "mastermind" or group podcast? Is that even possible...
