What enabled me to get started in this business was learning and then utilizing various types of lease options. 

The max-leverage folks here tend to be a bit more outspoken and so when I first joined this site, I thought I was doing it all wrong and was determined to extract every last bit of dead equity from my properties.

They have no providers of these money lending partners to enable refinancing/BRRRR operations. 

However, having gotten it, it has afforded me skills useful to many parts of my life, and has enabled me to get experience that helps me to evaluate properties in a unique way.

Most have experienced this at some point in their life, and regardless of how many people you extract from your life for not having similar goals, interest, passion or intensity you will face this.

Skills enable you to make money.

I "enjoy" reading it because it reinforces my view that people are impoverished due to the choices they've made, that absentee fathers and loose women play big roles in poverty, and that our government encourages / enables poverty far more than it does to solve it.

Cities will always be popular because at our core we thrive by interacting with other people however technology will enable people to work in city jobs whilst in non city areas.

Lack of reservesThe one enabler I would add to @shiloh lundahl advice is if you don't have sufficient reserves - partner with someone who does.

Debt or "leverage" only enables you to buy something that you otherwise could not have afforded.
