Finish 2019 strong my friends
A year and a half ago, I was kicking tires on getting into REI. I had an absolutely terrible first landlording experience with friends and family that left me so very frustrated (different post one day maybe). My wife and I were flipping our first house and learning how tough of a business that is for a newbie who "loves" the idea, but hasn't lived the model.
Time for a change:
Fast forward 18 months. Full time job, full time family, full time pastor, and from 0-12 rental doors. This year I added a 4 plex with a restaurant down stairs and 2 single families. Cash flow from those 3 purchases $1750 a month. Now looking to finish the year strong! I plan to purchase at least two more small multi's to finish off the year.
Listen. If you're kicking the tires, what are you waiting for? Get in and drive friend! I went from zero $ in passive income to nearly $3k a month in 18 months. Small town super busy guy, playing it conservative, walked a lot of doors and made a lot of offers. Found a mentor (coach) to help me along.
I hope you raise your hand and say "Put me in Coach." Stop listing reasons not to, and try it if you've done your research.
