To be honest, it escapes me how I came across BP last year, but in the last few months since heading down this path, I've learned from webinars, posts, podcasts, hundreds of blogs, and been inspired many times.

@David Goossens and @Nicholas Crum You're right, it's crazy how just sharing your plan and dreams can inspire other people to get behind it!

I am a 40 yr old inspiring entrepreneur and investor.

This great thread about the next bubble burst inspired me to ask.

Your example inspired me.

@Dylan Mehsling 7 years ago, I used 100k to purchase one property all cash and rent it out - which was fine, but I didn’t know anything about real estate investing and didn’t understand I could have gotten so much more with the power of leverage.Fast forward to last year, I sold said property and used the same 100k as down-payment on a commercial blanket loan and acquired 14 units in a better market.I tripled my cash flow; from netting approximately 300-400 usd per month to 1000-1200 usd per month after all expenses were paid.Hope this provides some inspiration - if maximizing cash flow is your goal, so you can pay all living expenses etc from rental income, then smart leverage is your friend.

great story. i am also working on to pull the trigger for the first time. inspired very much!!

Very inspiring.

Love to hear all the creative ways people use to make some extra cash (and hopefully use some ideas as inspiration for myself :) ).  

While doing that, it’s ALSO good to get new friends, new relationships who inspire you, motivate you by their example and not just words.
