    Once again a great podcast…This is something that I’m currently working through getting the down payment for that first one. Considering that I’m in nyc I have to get about the same down payment of at least 20k. Didn’t think about tutoring, may make this part of the plan. Do any investors think it gets easier after the first one?

    Great podcast. I love your point that every time you earn a dollar, you only take home 80 cents after taxes, but a dollar saved nets a full dollar of value. I always found that cutting expenses added more to my asset column than working extra hours, but I never really understood how that happened. Of course, it seems so obvious now! Thanks Scott!
