After you have enough passive income in place then you can get into buying yourself doodads, if you desire any at that time!

So, now subtract off your desired cash flow

Plus, I've already run my own small business (in marketing) for 12 years now.It does seem, however, that this business is full of property managers who provide poor service (or no service), or who perhaps don't have the skills or desire to manage properties professionally or to run a small business.

I can offer services to my investors/buyers for as much, or as little as they need.As for control...My buyer/investor ALWAYS has full control...its their property...I am in constant contact with them letting them know anything/everything...every step of the wayAs to "why"...thats the easy part...MANY people have the desire or interest in the ROI they know is out there for RE...however MANY of them simply to not have the TIME to do all the follow up and on-site management to go it on their own.Thats where I come in :wink:

You see, this concept I tried before with a 401K and it did not work the same nor did it give the desired results after research.

I met with the owners today to inspect the properties, discuss their desires, and try and craft a deal.

I believe in order for me to become successful, I must be willing to dedicate at least 1-3 hours after work in order to reach the level of success I desire.

Without that it can be an expensive nightmare.How 'desirable' is your location?

Ability, desire and knowledge.

Thinking of opportunities to enrich the lives of, or add value to, the greatest number of people possible, in return for whatever I desire for adding that value. 2.
