Well I guess you could look at this with another analogy.I am a third degree black belt fixing to test for fourth soon.I love helping all the students below me and even higher ranks learn from me and I also learn from the higher ranks and lower ranks that have taken other styles before.I could say "I will not share anything with this person that is a white belt because one day they will be better than me".I choose not to do that.You can't live in fear of what others are doing or YOU THINK they will do in the future.It really isn't about that at least to me.Now do you spend hours of productive time teaching them everything for free??

When my hubbie and I took the bootcamp, we already had 10 flips under our belts, so we had a leg up on most others who were attending.

I am a 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo and testing soon for my 4th degree.I also train in Krav Maga.I also do cardio and weights at the YMCA.I usually work out 5 days a week and take off 2 days.Some days I do doubles with the YMCA and the karate class about 2 1/2 hours total.What I like is with my training there is always something new and the class goes by fast training with others.I used to run 10 miles at the gravel park.Not fast about an 8 minute pace per mile.Here in Georgia the weather can be a beast.

Where do you carry it; ankle or belt?

As you get more deals under your belt your net profit will get much bigger.

Once I get a few deals under my belt and the business grows I will then scale back and slowly turn rehab over to a trusted GC.

@ Lisa Sanders - Thank you Lisa!

Though I haven’t jumped into my own investing quite yet I do have a few years of real estate experience under my belt.

@Ron Pfrogner  - House hacking is a darn good way to get that first deal under your belt. 

I believe that people who have no experience in real estate investing should try and avoid as far as possible investing far away, at the same time people who have some experience under their belt shouldn't shy away.
