It's win-win, your buddies get more work and you get time to focus on doing the things that are less physical labor that make you more money.You're only a failure in the present tense if you keep making the same mistakes.

Don't skip the gym or exercise without health what do we have.

I want to become an REI for my family to be able to always be there physically for my children not punching a clock doing shift work at a paper mill my entire life.

Hi JohnYes using options is helpfulHere is language on one of my option to puchase agreements—————FINANCING This option may be exercised by any or all of the following INITIALED terms:a) Cash or Third Party Financing: Buyer will pay cash or obtain third party financing such as a mortgage or other loan (s) in the amount of:$___________________________ Initials: Optionor ________ Optionee ________ (Term Accepted)b) Lease Purchase: Optionor will grant buyer the option to purchase the property in the amount of: $______________________________whileleasing the property for a ___ month period with payments of $_____________ per month due and payable on the first day of each month with $_________ down as non-refundable option consideration.

I am told this takes process takes 30-45 days to by courts and sheriff to evict him physically.

Yeah a break up has them fighting over cash I believed it should be issued to the tenant since she is the one in lease agreement and she physically handed me the check even if it was from her gf.

That's twice your assumption that your tenants will stay two year, and assumes that tenants don't give notice that they are leaving (as should be required) on your lease, and that there will be a month's physical vacancy.  

Based on your impeccable track record in NYC, I can go with that especially if I had an extra mil burning a hole in my pocket and or any physically well positioned combo of investment type vehicles in between all those points of common commutes.

I need to find time to exercise so I live long enough to enjoy what I will build, not to mention walk my daughters down the aisle.

My wife handles the books and I handle the physical operations and tenants.
