My theory is I might as well use my own money to buy my own prop and manage it than run around like a crazy person trying to muscle up other people's property to manage.

Prior to this deal, I was analyzing 10 properties a week to build up my brain muscles.

The warm water helps relax muscles from sitting through endless Zoom calls, or just the stress of life.

I became an investor to flex my creative muscles for getting deals done, thus I don't appreciate being restricted by rules and CC&R's that dictate how I run my business.

I've always been interested in both investing (worked in finance before and have my CFA) and architecture and think that real estate investing is kind of the perfect synthesis of the two.

There should probably be another education section jammed in between Goals 4 and 5 on REI start up companies and everything that comes along with running it.  6) Grow my portfolio - As the years pass and i start to master the ins and outs of rental properties i will want to flex the brain muscle and expand my company.  

Someone may argue they lift weights to get muscles, but the muscles are only a means to an end.

I think you'd be better off partnering with someone who has the experience and financial muscle to do this deal and learn from them while getting a piece of the pie.

I've had people to quit working for me 2 hours after they started due to getting sick and not being able to handle the work conditions of plumbing and sewer work.......It is not for a person with a weak stomach or weak muscles.

We make a good team, he's the muscle and money man and I run the numbers, schedule showings, and make the design decisions.
