@Aleksandrs Vilumsons saving money on internet of things will cause you a ridiculous amount of service calls.

And links straight to the thread, but  On mobile the font is still Ridiculously small.

@Jonathan Safa it is ridiculous to have to wait 16 days to turn on gas.

Just make sure you have your money in order before you start.iMO, the taxing districts that have to support the Norristown School District all have ridiculously high property taxes in comparison to property taxes for other better performing neighboring school districts such as Upper Merion or Methacton or Colonial. 

To me, as someone that grew up ridiculously poor, I completely understand the mindset of spending every dime that comes in; no one who lives that way worries about next week, much less next year.

But to say that 401Ks serve no purpose or are a foolish use of money is kinda ridiculous and is divorced from reality somewhat. 

well... that is ridiculous. 

Find people who are smarter than you that you can learn from.People WILL judge you for your age (not saying this is right, it's just the way it is) and you must overcome this by becoming an expert and being ridiculously professional AND by surrounding yourself with partners who do have the credibility and experience.Be humble and yet confident - realize that you have much to learn and be willing to listen to others' ideas and feedback.Be bold but not reckless in your actions - after receiving the proper education.It would probably be prudent to try to do some smaller projects first to build up your reputation, but if you are dead set on doing this then by all means go for it, you just have to be willing to work hard (I'm talking 80-100 hour weeks), be humble and be bold.

Stop the ridiculous regulations, fees, and other BS that prevents investors from filling the gap.

Here’s a weird kicker, 4 rentals each with well over 50% equity and cashflowing a few 100 a month as a package, but I was offered a ridiculously low heloc limit on my paid off primary by chase.
