In all seriousness, I really respect your choice to "follow your dream" at such an early age instead of taking the path of least resistance and going to work for "The Man" right after college.Thus far, your recipe for success has been to work harder, not "smarter", control costs by doing all of your own labor and buying all of your own materials, living frugally, renting them out as you complete them and then, rinse and repeat.Screw working "smarter."
