    Florida Teachers Can What?

    RANT 
    With teacher's unions, you can bet that they're being paid for that training. For some it might just be a good vacation away from the students!

    Florida Teachers Can What?

    RANT 
    At least this bill requires teachers to undergo 144 hours of training to be certified. They're not exactly just handing out guns to any teacher who wants one. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I could see it going both ways.

    Build a real estate company in a D area

    EXECUTION 
    It was listed for rent in February. My PM just updated me that last week they had 40 inquiries, 3 people showed up for a tour, and the one person who submitted an application was not qualified. They say there isn't a lot of interest in the area right now because of some recent criminal activity...

    He's building an MVP website and going to run some test ads to it to see what sticks. Isn't that how you would define "testing the market"?

    Build a real estate company in a D area

    EXECUTION 
    We've been advertising it since early February, so it's been almost 3 months vacant. Just want to hold for cashflow. If the numbers work out like how we projected, we would buy more in the same development, since they're dirt cheap. If it's going to take 6 months or longer to rent, though, we'll...

    Looking for web developers in bay area to work on new project

    Your location says you're in Orlando. Are you talking about the Tampa Bay Area?? Because that's not the "Bay Area" I thought you meant when you said you're looking for a developer. I might be biased though, given that I live in California's Bay Area...

    Build a real estate company in a D area

    EXECUTION 
    How long does it take you to rent these units? I recently purchased a small condo in a seedy part of Cleveland that I've been having trouble getting rented. People who are interested aren't qualified, and people who are qualified aren't interested. It's a narrow intersection of people who would...

    There might also be some local places that will rent or even loan tools to you. There are a small handful of places in my area that will lend you tools for short periods of time. Put down a deposit that you get back when you return them.

    Velocity Banking

    MINDSET 
    Nothing stops you from paying down your home mortgage early. There are no early payment penalties. Although you have scheduled minimum payments, you could add on additional "balloon payments" which would go straight to principal, effectively lower your interest rate, and speed up your repayment...

    Apple, Google, and Netflix no longer require a 4-year degree.

    Maybe this hints at the rise of the coding bootcamps. The argument these tech companies are making is essentially that college graduates are not being taught the skills they need to learn to be successful at their jobs. Universities are likely too theoretical. So I see universities quickly...

    I bought my first rental property. Here’s how I did it and what I learned.

    NOTABLE! REAL ESTATE 
    Thanks for sharing your analysis - it's very, very detailed. I like that you consider a conservative, liberal, and best-guess scenario. Are you finding the numbers are working out like how you projected? Your analysis still lists the $200k price and rents higher than actuals. When I update your...

    Hire one of the guys out of @Fox 's web design course to build you a beautiful website in exchange for building up their portfolio. I think he teaches that you should do 1-2 projects for free to show prospective clients. Win-win? NewburghReno.com is an available domain as well.
