Well the WCRT mantra is "Learn, Grow and Give Back" so let's green light the charity.How about some cool swag that says "Bigger Pocket Loyal Pocketeer!"

Creedog: I think the best way for you to start is not by focusing in REI straight away, but to read self help/motivational books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, etc.

A mentor suggested the book several months ago when it came out in February, and I've had both my kids (who both owned their first investment properties before age 20) read it too.

I'm Danielle- ripe ol age of 32 and DH and I just bought our frist investment home in Columbia, South Carolina at the end of January.

I have 4 rental units which I do very well with and so far can manage, but I don’t know if I keep growing if I’ll be in too deep and over my head to manage risk.

Grow Rich Slow.

Also as you grow as a landlord you could keep appliances and  lighting fixtures that you get on sale and keep them in your garages until needed.

Starting out they are essential and should be used to minimize your risk when your ignorance is highest, but as your knowledge and confidence grows you may out grow contingencies in your offers.See any contingency you put in your offer makes your offer have less value to the seller.

I do intend to continue to grow.

I'm in great shape for my age.
