Are you simply collecting "Baltic Ave" and "Mediterranean Ave" houses with the hope that someday they will be worth something or are they more "St James Pl" to "Marvin Gardens" that you are putting people into and collecting rent?

Praxis still has ample opportunity to be like the "tortoise" in Aesop's fable about the race, and Brian feels "the jury is still out" on how the fund ends up years from now (and how floating rate + a rate cap fares compared to fixed rate debt with gnarly yield maintenance fees).

Awe this discussion reminds me of the fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare". 

My name is Justin.I have worked in the property industry in the UK for a number of years, in Property Management and Sales of Rent 2 Rent holiday villas around the Mediterranean, as an Estate Agent and Deal Sourcer and now in Conveyancing.Over these years I have helped many home buyers and investors on their property journey but now in 2024 my focus has shifted to how I can transition into a real estate investor in my own right, and build my own property portfolio.I have been a big Bigger Pockets podcast listener for a number of years and I have found it to be a massive motivation tool in my working life but I am super excited to now lean on all the amazing resource as I commence my own investment journey.I am originally from Australia and have spent the last 13 years living in London, UK.

I've just always been the tortoise, not the hare.read my bio I have killed it and been killed..

------> This is the tortoise and the hare approach.

I'd much rather be independently wealthy, sitting on my yacht in the middle of Mediterranean, with a margarita in one hand and a cigar in the other, having done nothing to get there or to even deserve it.

I’m the tortoise, though, others what to be the hare.

An example:  North Africans spent hundreds of years raiding villages in the Mediterranean, capturing and enslaving southern Europeans.
