That's how Castle Rock was born.

I love your story, and felt a connected when you mentioned you went from a technician to SE.But we have kid, so saving money is a little hard (compare to before), but finding time to do business is the hardest part, my last deal was done on the day when my son was born 18 months ago, and I haven't done a deal since.

My answer...FAMILY.When my son was born almost 2.5 years ago, all I want to do is spend as much time with him and my wife.

Yes that's true, that's why I substitute 5's for 50's when I'm smudging my Longmont properties, and only allocate $500k per square foot for Capex, plus my first born for repairs.

I've been into hotrodding since I was born. 

@aaron yates - not a born diplomat, are you ;-)

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

Here we go again with Bigger Pockets's extensive white-collar bias and disinterest in the actual facts of life of the blue-collared.In the 2010s, successful American-born contractor-without-HS diploma is a non-starter, even a sideshow.

PS- I was born in Red Bank, NJ 👍🏼
