Gained a couple of pounds in the last 4 years, but has a little more muscle too.I'm 4 years older, which is not a good thing, but I'm a little wiser now.I'm a big fan of Paul Ryan before I knew which party he belonged to.

Like anything, it's not about the game it's about the practice so you have muscle memory to make the right decision in the game without thinking.If you look at anyone at the top of their field they have some type of coach and/or mentor, no brainer in my opinion. 

Flexing your landlord muscles won't work here. 

Self development/education is a muscle.

I would be the muscle and they are the $.  

You will be taking on more liability, and if you go bigger than 4 units you won't have the owner occupier financing available.Exercise your analyzing muscles by vetting some possible deals in different price points so you can see the difference in finances.

I need to flex my capitalism muscles and get stronger.

Saying no is like developing a muscle, the more you say it, the easier it gets.

Not purely as an investment but also an exercise for my design and construction muscles.

Once you are in more it is like a muscle the more you strengthen it the stronger it gets.
