This will my 20,000th post on Biggerpockets. My first post was made about 13 years ago, just as I was getting my license and starting a property management business.

Unlike many on BiggerPockets, I am not here to build my business. If I were, it would be a dismal failure! In 13 years, my time on BiggerPockets resulted in three sales transactions, earning me about $0.30 per post. LOL!

I learned a lot from this forum, and continue to learn, so I am here to help others. Just remember: when it comes to my advice, you get what you pay for!

    Nathan!

     You are the first person that I resonate with when it comes to straightforwardness in the real estate world. As a first generation immigrant, I had to re-learn everything that I was taught. I had a couple of occasions when I was straightforward with people and they were very offended. At the end, I thought it was me the problem and I had to start sugar code things more in order to have a conversation about business. After reading multiple posts from you ( And eventually started listening to David Greene ), I realize that I am not the problem but the people that I dealt with who had 0% emotional intelligence. Short story... :-)

     Congratulations on the milestone and wish nothing but the best to you and your family!

    I started to read this and freak out a little if you were going to retire!!! It sounded like Jordan going out after 6 rings, haha. Okay, but really. I’m glad you contribute to this platform. I also appreciate the integrity and purity in providing advice irregardless of obtaining business from it.

    I hope many take note.   Thank you for your contributions.

    I have four more years before the kids graduate. When that happens, I fully intend to buy a STR in another market where I can live and buy property. I'll do that for a year or two, then shift to another market.

    I may even start PM companies in each spot. The sky is the limit!
