You see, I could have plated the car in 32 karat gold leaf and unless I was able to find a buyer who was specifically interested in paying a premium to own a gold leaf covered Mustang, blue book value is what it is, and no one was going to pay me upwards of $40,000 for a 2001 model year car they could just as easily buy with similar upgrades elsewhere for less than half that amount.Unfortunately, I had already bought the car and I had already flushed all that money down the drain – my only gain on investment being brief jolts of adrenaline and incrementally smaller quarter mile times.

I vote for the 401(k) and increasing my total assets under my name as much and as rapidly as possible.

If I wanted to run a business, rehab to flip seems like the best way to grow income and capital rapidly. 

You know making her pay late fees is so unfair...Now I can actually bump up this units rent all the way up to market instead of the incremental steps!

However, the rapid influx of new residents, coupled with insufficient housing inventory, has driven prices skyward, making homeownership increasingly unattainable for many.

So, I 1031 exchanged them all and now am a principal in 8 apartment complexes in NE Ohio that have 122 front doors and they cash flow at $160,000 a year and rising at a rapid rate.You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away and no when to run!!  

I'm trying to see how folks might go about rapidly increasing their income while still working a full-time job, and without building a side hustle.

In a rapidly rising market, some investors will pay more in anticipation of appreciation, but I call that "gambling".  

Are you buying in areas where properties are appreciating rapidly?
