.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success

If it is a class C office building with 10% occupancy that is very different than a Class A MF which is still very different than a debt fund with zero leverage.As mentioned risk and return go together  - greater risk should have greater upside

Now I will give my opinion on buying a four plex verses building one. 

Trying to build by team fo upcoming deals.

Maybe one the contributors on BP will see your message and start something like that.
