'today I'll do what others won't so tomorrow I can do what others can't' Jerry Rice. It reminds me of the power of daily progress even if it's small steps. Consistency is the bed rock to greatness.

Hello everyone,

I noticed a lot of you aren't pro members and I've made a calculator that emulates some features of the bigger pockets calculator along with projections for what costs and revenue looks like 1, 2, 10 and 20 years into the future. If you're interested in a copy of the spreadsheet just send me a private message.

Best of luck in your endeavors!

Charles.

Hello Mr.Ripp,

I'm not part of the target audience you wanted to look at your files. I wanted to know how you learned how to do spreadsheets like this? I would be grateful to know resources that could help me get to even a quarter of your skill level. Also if you would like a faster, more dialed back calculator I made a spreadsheet that mirrors there 4 square video.

Right now I'm held back from not having a tax return. I'm finishing up nursing school so once this June hits I plan to start working and build up my credit score. So hopefully at 20 I can buy my 1st multifamily property.

Would you have any ideas on a way to get a start with REI sooner?

As of now I'm just trying to educate myself and find a team (real estate agent, contractor, etc) to later on help me with a 1st deal.

Thanks for your time,

Charles O.

Wow you accomplished your goal about 7 months early. What's the target now? Thanks for sharing your story, it really shows that opportunity is everywhere.

@Skyler Mckinney

Thank you for your service Mr. Mckinney,

Involving finding a deal a good way to get them off market is talking to contractors. Sometimes homeowners tell them things 'I'm fixing up the house so I can sell it soon'. I don't know who you're sending DMs to but focusing on out of state home owners may help people that fall under that category can probably be found by visiting a local courthouse. There's a book 'multiple streams of income' the author can explain the process better than me. You're situation isn't as risky as I initially thought but 7 months is ambitious.

You got this,

Charles O.

That sounds like Grant Cardone's 10X rule: The only difference between success and failure. Think of it like this why try 10 calculations a week when you can go for 100. Even if you only get to half of a 100 you did 5 times better than you would've had you made a shorter target of 10.

Hope it helps,

Charles.

To become a millionaire there are many ways that won't build you up as a person and/ or show a lack of character. This would be actions like marrying someone just for money or playing the lottery. If you become rich by luck if you lose it you have low chances of becoming rich again. 

Or maybe you get a high income job and save the money to become a millionaire. But if your 401k starts looking like a 201k (terrible crash) you might not have enough working years to become a millionaire.

The best ways to become a millionaire would be business, real estate and stocks. A great book to read is "Multiple Streams of Income". The 3 methods I mentioned in this paragraph will involve a copious amount of learning. If the worst comes and your business is closed down or your houses burn down or a company you invested in fails while you lost money you still have the knowledge to get it all back and more later on.
