I think that rentals are definitely the way I want to go for long term, but flipping felt like it could be a faster opportunity to move off of the hamster wheel and into real estate investing.

There's nothing like having a great group of people, hamster wheels turning in the same direction, all in each others corner!

it is legitimate grounds to turn down a tenant that lies on their application.Depending on the animal being benign enough (hamster for instance) we have waived the animal fee and our lease allows fish tanks up to 10 gallons without notification of the animals.

Going from running on the hamster wheel of life to changing your destiny is most likely going to require a strong woman by your side, as it has for me.

I appreciate you want to get off the endless hamster wheel of a job, but don't trade one miserable job by creating another. 

The listing brokerages are so busy on the hamster wheel when trying to close listings for volume that they tend to only show what is in their inventory to sell whether it is a bad, fair, or good deal.

@Richard Vang Your property hamster sucks.  

I work in sales and sometimes it feels like a hamster wheel because if you don't make sales you don't make money.  

I was hoping that someone would be willing to share the beginning of their journey, for those out there,  like me, who are stuck on the hamster wheel.

The question running on my mental hamster wheel is: Replace the infrastruct (plumbing &electrical) before renting the property for lower cap ex and future repairs for rental I plan to hold long term?
