What is your favorite quote??

I believe quotes are a powerful tool. They provide a boost of quick knowledge and motivation. I would love to hear your favorites and why they are.

"Don't wait for the perfect opportunity: create it." -George Benard Shaw

I love this because it symbolizes the truth that nothing is going to be given it must be earned/taken. When I read it each day, I am naturally shifted into an action taking mindset.

-Nathan

“I quit!”
Haven’t said this to my W2 employer yet but I live, sleep, eat, and breathe for the day I will be able to.
My current portfolio consists of 7 SFR rentals and I'm working on acquiring as many as it takes.
