    Well I always get with my accountant before the end of the year and see if I can purchase a house or two in cash. I’m also not making big millions yet like some of you though. I will buy a house or two in cash to lower my tax bracket and income levels. The banks already won’t loan me any...

    My Intro and Story

    INTRO 
    I blew up so many trading accounts before I found what I could consistently make money at. Most investors and clients I deal with didn’t make large sums and consider themselves successful until 40 or 50+. You are right on track. Don’t give up you’ve got this.

    INTRO 
    My name is Chandler. I am a real estate investor. I am glad to learn and talk with fellow fastlane minded people on the site. I’ve read the Fastlane and tons of articles on here.
