So is overnight riches and "power of positive thinking" only type mentality people.  

For example, my goal is to invest for cash flow to sustain an enhanced retirement.  

I see it ALL the time to the point where I have a mental wholesaler blacklist.

For years, I formed a mental strategy to find a multi-family house and house hack just like all the BP Legends.However, as I look through the MLS during COVID, I notice it's still nearly impossible to find a descent Multi-fam property in Bergen County at around $400K.As a result, Im contemplating shifting my focus a bit and purchasing a single family house instead.

@Luke Carl @Avery Carl I like that mentality!

"The toughest battles are the ones we have within ourselves" I love this quote and agree 100%.I've always admired the discipline, grit, dedication, and mental toughness displayed by my 2 marine step-brothers.I think my favorite part of your story was that your made the decision with intention to get more from life.

I also charge a 500 deposit (not a fee as I think fees create an "I already paid for the damage so I wont care quite as much" type of mentality, whereas a deposit is something they can get back if no damage so they are more pro active - this is just basic human nature ) and given my market and the type of rentals I own (new build Class B MF) I charge a minimal pet rent of 25/month per pet pet rent. 

Which I know is the way to go but I'm experiencing a mental block and pulling the trigger. my inside voice is telling me that I'm afraid to make a big move like this, of making a mistake and mismanaging the money, and not meeting or exceeding my real estate goals.
