    First House Hacking Adventure

    EXECUTION 
    Part of the reason I got my real estate license is because of the need to be pre-approved at the moment you wanted to see something. With my license I could use say I'm going to look at a property for myself and the listing agent has no issues. But if you don't have your license, then yes, agree...

    Preworkout with the bullshit artificial stuff

    HEALTH 
    Pure Pump from Do Vitamins. You need to mix it with something though. I usually stack it with some protein powder. If the Sucralose or dye wasn't an issue Pre-Jym tastes really good.

    Why Can't I Just Do The Dang Work?

    INTRO 
    @James Klymus - Think of failing in terms of learning. Approach talking to strangers in the mind-frame that you want to help them achieve their goals. Definitely get back to writing out a daily To Accomplish list. Don't beat yourself up if you don't complete every item. There will be a ton of...

    @BellaPippin - People are dropping things to challenge your current mindset. Please think about them and really reflect. For some reference on the cost for the summit - I have spent $1,000 and $1,500 on educational courses. The first one was from Mr Landlord. Tickets to his conference with...

    Missing the point entirely my friend. And that's fine - you just aren't ready to amend your mindset yet.

    Your mindset is strapped too. Open your mind to the possibility that you can accomplish anything you want if you quit creating excuses and roadblocks for yourself! You don't lack resources - You lack RESOURCEFULNESS!

    Just finished reading this whole thing... As far as the job goes - your resume is probably shit. Go out and network with people in the industry that you want to be in and show them how awesome you are. When opportunities come up they will think or you. I've had this happen a few times. You...

    Would love to go! I'd be a first time attendee. I know that I just recently joined, but I could possibly speak about getting started investing in real estate - specifically self storage.

    Peeps that manage properties, would it be a good idea to finish university and get this degree

    HOT! IDEA 
    @JScott and @biophase are dropping straight gems for you! I got my start listening to bigger pockets and reading Brandon Turner's book and J.Scott's book on estimating rehab costs. These are a great place to start. My recommendation is thread those and then start evaluating properties in the...

    Agree with you on all those items! My inlays actually have a 3-unit that is in a historical district - and it has been a fight to get things done! Leverage can be a great tool if you have a process and plan to use it correctly! The contractor who owns the duplex pays utilities??

    EXECUTION 
    It was 25% F*ck it, and 75% of having put in the work and gaining the knowledge to know what the process would be. I had been searching my area for around 8 months and was able to look at 50+ duplexes. Doing that allowed me to get an idea of the rents in all areas I wanted to purchase and have...

    Hi fellow Fastlaners!

    INTRO 
    A lot of employers offer remote jobs now - I'm not sure that tailoring a resume towards that will help all too much. Besides - the best way I've found to get a different JOB is to network with people. IF they like you and know you're good - something will come up. Are you at the point right now...

    Did you approach the sellers about lowering their asking price commensurate with the repairs that needed to be completed?? I was able to get my duplex price lower by walking the seller through all that was wrong and the price to repair it. One of my best friends from college did the same thing...

    I did this in 2016. Depending on what type of 401(k) it is you can sometimes use the funds for your first home purchase without paying taxes on it. All of life is risky. Each one of us could die today from anything. Regret is terrible to live with. (sorry I read a lot of Stoicism! haha) Having...
