You can self certify on The IRS.gov website.

My name is Prince Gammage and this is my first time on the site.

I took a stroll through their website.. 

Maurice - I'll check out the website you recommended as I am unfamiliar with it.

I'm really excited to be writing my first post to the website that has taught me so much in such a short amount of time!

To design this plan, it's best to reverse engineer it from your ultimate goals, back to where you are now.Don't get so focused on getting there so fast that you make rash/poor decisions. 

The Cash Flow is ridiculous.Over time, you get to understand that Cash Flow is something that only stays the same if you invested in something that is designed to do so like a Coupon Bond.Because I calculate the FUTURE Cash Flows out 10 years, I fully understand the true return of the Investments and how much cash flow I will achieve.The other thing to take into consideration is the Mortgage Balance reduction.If your investment is at break even but your Mortgage is a fixed rate, then one day, when that Mortgage goes away, your Cash Flow increases tremendously.When you take into account a 30 year projection of your Investment Cash Flows, you realize just how wealthy you can get by buying for FUTURE Cash Flow as opposed to Cash Flow NOW.It's really not RIGHT to pretend that the Cash flow you receive at the purchase is going to be the same throughout the holding period of the investment.

I've been listening to the podcasts and in the process of reading some books from this website.

My husband and I have been running a heating and AC biz for over 3 years now, we do it all; commercial, residential, new construction, equipment replacements, custom duct design & fabrication, service, maintenance, repairs...

i.e. sites like Fundrise where you can invest your money without being hands on.
