    50 Assets You Can Rent Out To Generate Passive Income

    NOTABLE! 
    On the topic of storage facilities. I own 2 houses that have detached garages. There's plenty of parking on/near the property at these houses so I rent the garages out to people looking for long-term storage (classic cars, furniture, etc) between $250-300/mo each. Nice little additional...

    Working a Slowlane Job, Need a Car by April - Is Leasing the Way To Go?

    SLOWLANE 
    IMO don't do it. I rewarded myself by getting a new car on a lease when I hit a milestone of $1500/Mo cash flow from my RE investments. New caddy and only $650/MO payments which I didnt think was too bad considering the cash flow I was making. Now though, the cars a couple years old and 2...

    KNOWLEDGE Hack -- Double (triple??) Your reading speed AND comprehension

    I'm not sure I underdand how this would prevent you from doing that? You have the book in hand and can easily pause the audio. You're adding another of your senses to the reading so this should actually help in what you're trying to achieve. The guy in the video uses this for educational...

    KNOWLEDGE Hack -- Double (triple??) Your reading speed AND comprehension

    One objection I might hear: "But Evan, that means I'll be paying double on the books I'm buying... it's a waste of money" Let's say the average time it takes you to read a book is 10 hours.. heck even 6 hours if you're a fast reader. The average book is about 15 bucks... This should cut that...

    KNOWLEDGE Hack -- Double (triple??) Your reading speed AND comprehension

    Hey guys, Just a very quick post of a tip I just found I'm going to start implementing. I tried it on a chapter of TMF and it works like magic. See this short video I like audio books but I comprehend more by actually reading as I find I get distracted while just "listening" to a book...

    Financing a Car Has Put Me in More Debt Than I Ever Thought

    MINDSET RANT 
    The best thing you can do in your situation after reading your replies is to get a job--any job. This situation is stressing you out to the max, making you more in debt, and will likely have a negative effect on your "fastlane business". You need to stop the bleeding. I replied earlier about...

    Financing a Car Has Put Me in More Debt Than I Ever Thought

    MINDSET RANT 
    Sometimes it takes moments of desperation like this to get yourself on track. I paid for gas in quarters once driving a compact luxury coupe because I had racked up my credit fully and had no other cash. That rock-bottom moment fueled the fire to make sure I would never be in such a desperate...

    Letter From the Future : Goal Setting for 2016!

    MINDSET 
    I guess I'm the opposite. I've found that I need to set (somewhat) unrealistic goals in order to motivate me enough to actually go after them. If a goal isn't very exciting and doesn't make me a bit uncomfortable I don't usually go after it as hard. For example... I set a goal in 2013 that "By...

    Letter From the Future : Goal Setting for 2016!

    MINDSET 
    I agree! There would need to a next action attached to the goals to get them rolling. The "Letter From the Future" is more of a baseline to know what you want your ideal year to look like (action steps left out). This isn't a progress thread, just a useful tip I find that helps with goal...

    Letter From the Future : Goal Setting for 2016!

    MINDSET 
    Hey guys, Wanted to share a strategy I've used for 2016. I find a lot of people set goals with not much clarity and/or just for the fact that they feel they need to set goals. This month I wrote a "Letter from the Future" to myself--which is me in 2017 looking back on what happened in 2016. I...

    Best/highest paying sales job(s) to build capital and improve selling skills

    MARKETING 
    I've been in sales for about 9 years now. For the last 3 years I've been a Realtor and I've made the most $$$ in commission doing it BUT--I don't feel it's the best way to improve sales skills. I do feel if you have interest in Real Estate investing though it's a huge asset to have the...

    EXECUTION 
    Read Vigilante's Addicted to Passive Cashflow Deposits (or something similar) GOLD thread. I didn't know the first thing about importing before I read that. Within about 45 days I had successfully ordered a shipment from a factory in China, marketed, and sold over 10 items.

    Is Slowlane Investing Beneficial to the Fastlane?

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    So what you're doing is borrowing money that costs you 6-20% interest... and contributing to investments that are likely earning 2-5% interest (that's being optimistic)... correct? Now, I'm no mathematician... but how does this plan make sense?
