The gist of the book is to concentrate on one thing/skill/niche until you completely excel in it.

Under no circumstances are any comments I make designed to circumvent the law or any get around any type of rules.

This is only acceptable if and when  getting more people would get you a lot more deals.In order to make it... in order to become really filthy (rich).. in such a short amount of time, you need to  filter all the fluff and get a concentrated non-watered down action plan implemented.. which is EXACTLY what I am about to do myself.To become successful you need leads.

In the alternative, you and your spouse could sign an agreement that the investmentproperty you are buying in your name only is designated separate property and not community property. 

Learn when and where a process is necessary, how to design and implement a process, and how to make sure it sticks after you put it in place.

You can build "stock" rooms should you want to use the design over again in another house. 

Basically, the mother in law is not represented in the "3/2" designation, so we're hoping there's some additional value hidden there.We are unsure what is the best way to proceed with a REI strategy with starting with this home.

I've been an Estimator and Assistant PM for a GC, performed take off for a large government construction management firm, conducted design reviews on behalf of the government, and I am an Architectural & Civil Drafter by trade.

Three as of now is what I designed my action plan around which will give me and average of 4 months to acquire each and the initial cash flow that I would like to see.
