I have been working on re-training my thinking so that instead of seeing my reserve fund as a "lost opportunity" I see it as 1) a cost of doing business, 2) an important element when presenting myself to lenders, and 3) a stress reduction investment.

Had success starting a sports training company as well.We are most interested in rental property so that we can grow our cash flow column and have equity in multiple properties.BiggerPockets podcast has been awesome for me as much as I drive around and looking to continue my real estate education through the forums.Hoping it will be a place I can lean on for support and as I grow provide support to others!

They have their scratching posts and have been trained.

I did a little more digging and ND requires a license but there is no book test nor training and the cost is 50 bucks as long as my individual contracts are under 50k.

My experience with S8 tenant was not bad at all and I truely believe you have to do your due diligence and then train you tenant.

If they do it will be harder to train tenants to cover utility bills.I like quads over duplex because of breakeven occupancy with the mortgage.

I listened to a talk through richdadtraining about investing other people's money that was laying fallow, and am trying to train myself to look for those types of opportunities.

@John Jackson Sounds great, Im interested in learning more about your training!

It will really make your learning and profitability a much more enjoyable process if you do it right.Have a look around BiggerPockets too, this place is a great resource for all things real estate but you really need to seek the wisdom and training of a dedicated professional who is there to help make YOU money.Best of luck Richard!

For investing why not look near campus for a student housing rental, pitch the sale to your parents or family and see if they will help, if done right you can save some money while you train with live amo.
