    "I'm Not Here To Take Part, I'm Here To Take Over"

    REAL ESTATE 
    Thanks for reaching out. Apologies that it took me a while to get back to you. This week has been the busiest ever. Facing some tough challenges but overcoming every obstacle as it hits so far. I also want to mention that I'm still disappointed with my own work ethic and it's definitely not...

    Facebook Down!

    MARKETING 
    Deleted Facebook last December as part of my goals for 2019 so I haven't missed much there and today is the first time I was reminded that Facebook still actually exists in the last two-three months. I had forgotten about it! That being said.. this downtime also impacted Instagram and Whatsapp...

    "I'm Not Here To Take Part, I'm Here To Take Over"

    REAL ESTATE 
    5 Days Since My Last Update I usually like waiting at least a week to post updates but it's been a crazy few days and I'm really excited. My sales have gone from €4500 to €5800 ( €1300 increase ) in this period. In consultation with my mentor I decided to consolidate one of the properties...

    How I started meeting people, making friends quickly, and improved my dating life as a entrepreneur

    MEETUPS 
    I'm really happy you posted this thread as I'm in a really similar situation. 21 years old running a Real Estate business that includes interacting with mainly older dudes 95% of the time. I moved to a new city to pursue this opportunity and while I do have a lot of friends from Sept-May here...

    "I'm Not Here To Take Part, I'm Here To Take Over"

    REAL ESTATE 
    Really cool story incoming! This week I decided to take a day out on Wednesday as the weather was really good for the first time this year. Drove three hours south and climbed the tallest mountain in Ireland with a friend of mine. It took about 5-6 hours to climb up and down. As we were...

    Should I buy a house?

    MINDSET 
    Have you ever considered 'house hacking'? If you haven't heard of the term then I would encourage you to research it. Basically you would go ahead and purchase an apartment/house/duplex in a popular area either with locals or tourists. You live in one units or room and rent out other units/rooms...

    "I'm Not Here To Take Part, I'm Here To Take Over"

    REAL ESTATE 
    At the moment I still like to meet all my guests when they arrive as I believe it turns a faceless business transaction into a personal one. It also encourages them to keep the place clean and leave it in a nice condition as after all you wouldn't mess somebody over that was friendly and kind to...

    It’s been another week since I posted an update. Things have been getting really busy. I had four different groups of guests staying on Saturday night. It’s becoming more difficult to manage keys, communications, cleaning/washing etc I’ll have to start putting systems in place. The new...

    Social Media Wantrepreneurs & Surviver Bias

    MARKETING MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIA 
    One thing that I have noticed in regards to marketing is that while many of us on here talk about the more technical minded individuals who have difficulties connecting with business owners and expressing how they can help them in a proper way. There are also many individuals who are extremely...

    Social Media Wantrepreneurs & Surviver Bias

    MARKETING MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I think many if not all of the big industries are already disrupted or are in the process of being changed by technology. The early days of the internet are well and truly over but I will admit that the opportunity to do even more will always still exist as tech continues evolving. The fact...

    Social Media Wantrepreneurs & Surviver Bias

    MARKETING MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIA 
    One of the biggest issues I have noticed with those looking to start a business and become entrepreneurs in this day and age is the fact that those with online businesses scream the loudest. If you are a young dude/girl growing up having spent most of your life with a small amount or very little...

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yeah, a quick google search reveals that they are phasing out the deductibles in the UK. They will be gone entirely by next year. So, yes you probably will work out a lot better going down the business route. Here in Ireland we still have 80% mortgage interest relief on rented properties...

    Hey fishgodeep, thanks for your response. It's nice to see another fellow Irishman on here. We are beginning to build a small community of Fastlaners here and maybe it's time to organize some sort of meetup or group chat for a start anyways. I'm actually based in the west, not Dublin! (yet) *...

    REAL ESTATE 
    Hey man, thanks for reaching out here on the thread. I'm not actually juggling as much in my life now as I was previously. Things got really busy and I decided to take a gap year in the middle of college to pursue these opportunities. I have also only been writing for copy clients who I have...

    REAL ESTATE 
    Week 2 Update: * Busy busy busy.. my current goal is to achieve Superhost status by July 1st. To do that I need consistently high reviews and a minimum of 10 stays before that date. Currently I'm at 6 so it shouldn't be too hard to get four more by the end of June. The main tourist season here...

    Doing the Andy Frisella "75 Hard" Challenge

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I have attempted the challenge twice and failed both times. 14 days and 7 days. I'm really embarrassed even writing this but it has to be done. While I struggled with working out twice a day due to me also working 12 hour days on my business doing physical work it was ultimately alcohol that...

    ~Hello, Where have you been all my life?

    INTRO 
    I'm based in Ireland. It's also a hot market right now but not on the scale that Toronto is currently operating at. There are a few options here if you want to continue down the Real Estate path such as House Hacking (i.e If you already own a house start renting out rooms short term on AirBnB)...

    ~Hello, Where have you been all my life?

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! You mentioned that your husband is a contractor. In what profession? If its in construction then maybe you could try getting involved in Real Estate. Over a few years you could channel some of the money that both of you are earning into it eventually building up a portfolio...
