Several months later, after I gave her the money, she casually dropped that she had just bought a $2K Apple computer for her son and a $1K Galaxy phone.

Another example, a good friend is a small car dealer, his oldest son loves cars and just turned 18. 

Or, partner with his son (me) to private finance a BRRR type deal over and over for the coveted “infinite return”. 

Everything is on track until one of my associates tells me his son in law just got green card from England and needs a house and wonders if I'll sell him this one pre-rehab as owner finance.

My goal is build up passive income through buy and hold investments so I have more time at home with Erin and my 2 young sons.  

I am 39 years old and decided to join my 5 year son at the skate board ramps.

I actually grew up with the son of the guy who started it; great people.

In fact, I may be able to fill the rooms without even advertising the rooms on Furnished Finders, as is the case with one of my colleagues who keeps his 3/1 and 2/1 in Palo Alto occupied year round just with referrals from my favorite recruiter, who I may or may not be dating. :~)

The area would be a drag on appreciation.My son is studying to be an architect so he has educated me on design vs engineering.

As builders we knew what we were going to build on the property, and our son made up a rendering, etc.
