On the exterior, removed all the overgrown bushes from the front and back, cut 2 small trees in front, planted some sod, power wash exterior of the house, and added mulch and solar lights.

Hi @Lance Bradley, leverage is a tool indeed, and like all tools they can powerful when used correctly and dangerous when used incorrectly.You can certainly do "more" with leverage than without it, and cash is "cheap" right now, but I'd caution you against running headlong into a situation that many run into on this line of logic.  

So you learn when you have to move lawn mowers and grills and tools etc. off the lowest level. 

Even with my powerful "why", I still do not know the process for managing an out-of-state investment with limited ability to travel. 

The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

Or, perhaps have experience with Tuya-powered smart devices and/or Leviton smart circuit breakers.

The interest rate reduction is a great tool to use when refinancing out of a VA loan.

Relationships are arguably the most powerful investment you can make when you're starting out!

Kinda weird seeing some hate on Kiyosaki's books or maybe because I just read 2 of his books so I don't know the progression but for me RDPD and Cashflow Quadrant is enough to get your lightbulb light up you're right, then venture on to other books.I love to read as well and I've encountered analysis paralysis before so I know how not to get to that point but if you ever get to that point my advice is just to take action and have the mindset of "I learn, not fail" and that's really what made me power through all those things in my head.Good luck on your real estate journey my friend. :) 

I've seen the growth and power RE contains.
