Living that way through my teens did teach me the value of money that most of my other friends that had money and went to college didnt get.

Rentals can produce in the mid teens for IRRs, but as you hold them for extended time periods the yields go down.  

Accept no further debt no matter how sexy it is until you’re approved for the desired amount.

@Jake Andronico "it was not sexy".

To conclude, it sounds sexy for one to drop out of college but not so sexy when one can't pay their bills. 

I have had custom cars since my teens , they are fun .

In 2008 I started to dollar average Bank of America in the teens and it fell to $3.

Stephen Adams I generally don't like any street in the teens on the West side

Cash on cash yield targets up to 10% w/all in high teens to 20% IRRs over the hold period still quite doable with the most experienced operators in the right market w/the right deal.

My boys have had Roths and bank accts since their early teens.
