I will have a chance to exercise my creative deal-making muscles early that will hopefully serve me well in the future.  

I agree with the idea of letting them stay, adding the pet deposit and socking the money away because in the end, this can be a challenge to take care of the odor.On the other hand, if the contractor is not used to cats even one dirty litter box can cause a significant ammonia odor (cats consume a very high protein diet and thus produce a high urea content urine).  

It helps it become muscle memory, and it helps me get more efficient at finding the information I need to do the analysis.  

Or do they recommend I try to muscle into this market for the appreciation play even though the numbers look a little worrisome. 

Muscle through and pay cash for repairs, rehab, and down payment?

I've sold 2 classic muscle cars in my younger days and regret it today.

I now tie my identity to daily activities (learning and improvement) and the results are taking care of themselves.I am understanding and gaining control over my mind (your #1 above).I hit the gym first thing in the morning and eat a can of tuna and low sugar protein shake for breakfast...a workout and 45 grams of protein is a good way to kick off the day. 

We still do spontaneous giving as well, but just like planning a weekly exercise routine keeps our muscles strong and growing, I think having a plan for giving keeps our generosity attitude and practices strong and growing.What has your experience been with giving and generosity?

Who cares flex the thinking muscles!

I'm interested in learning about deal analysis, creative financing and deal making, systems of replication and automation, remote investing, and the synthesis of technology and real estate.
