I understand that MJ needs to remain level-headed because this is his forum. As an independent member, I have the freedom to share my candid thoughts.
For anyone looking for an easy way out: there isn't one. You need to put in the work. Read MJ’s books—or at least the latest one, if you have to choose. Choose the hard path now to live easier later. Only after you have put in that effort should you share your opinions or progress on this forum.
It is disappointing to see so many people looking for handouts. That mentality stems from expecting quick and easy results, rather than accepting the long and difficult reality required to build something lasting.
Success requires paying a price. If you show that you are willing to put in the effort, the veterans on this forum will be much more likely to contribute and help you out.
This is especially true in the area of real estate investing.
If you have not yet purchased a few houses and learned from firsthand mistakes, please refrain from asking for advice. It is best to gain practical experience by buying a property before seeking further guidance. Otherwise, it wastes everyone's time to ask for advice that likely will not be implemented.
