    INVESTING 
    Agreed with most of the above but a couple of things that I actively think about: Pay off bad debt ASAP (Credit cards for example. High rates, doesn't serve you in any way to keep a balance) Avoid life creep by scaling your spending categories in tandem (While in growth mode I distribute...

    Investing in Townhomes

    REAL ESTATE 
    @Connor gz on the growth, seems like you are building momentum slowly but steadily. Because you are getting to a pretty good unit count I'm curious to hear about your experience with rent growth in recent years? I've personally seen ~10% rent growth in the past 6 months alone. It feels like...

    Selling experience or service over products?

    IDEA 
    Super cool. Do you have a thread where you go into more detail about this? Furthermore, I know that I've seen these REI nuggets from you in various posts but have never gotten the chance to go through them and jot down notes. Considering you have 2.2k posts, any chance you can point me in the...

    My first Fastlane Idea

    IDEA 
    A promising start to an interesting thread. Good luck on the venture and thanks for sharing. Considering you are building it and seem to be nearing MVP launch I'd start to consider marketing.

    Is Digital Marketing too saturated to get started in 2022?

    MARKETING MINDSET 
    It's 2022 every business is 'saturated' As long as you do something that provides value and you do it well then you'll turn out fine. Luckily the bar is pretty low in most things but do keep in mind that the lower the barrier to entry the harder it will be to get off the ground since there will...

    What will you focus on in 2022?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Great goals! On the fitness ones, what is your level with calisthenics skills? Unless you are already quite advanced I'd suggest you pair down the skills work - even just landing 2-3 of these in a single year would be impressive but with strength training goals on top theres no way unless you...

    Ah right, you also mentioned he bought the property recently. He's probably not able to seller finance. Does subject to work in storage maybe? I'd imagine it does.

    Self Storage Acquisition Options

    EXECUTION REAL ESTATE 
    Have you considered seller finance? If he is willing to give you terms then you can give him his price. Ofc in this scenario you may not be playing with a bank in the case of a downpayment unless he is willing to take the second position. Not entirely sure what it looks like for storage + SBA...

    The Great Resignation, Good or Bad for Entrepreneurs?

    SLOWLANE FTE 
    It's hard to say but ultimately I think it comes down to why people are resigning. If the answer is along the lines of: People feel unfulfilled & underutilized at theirs job and aspire to do bigger, better things as well as raise their productivity/value; then it bodes well for the future. I...

    A couple of weeks ago I met up with a few old college buddies - they were all complaining about rents, inflation, money, etc. At the same time shit-talking their jobs plus discussing all the parties/festivals & stimmy gifts they gave themselves. I didn't really have much positive to contribute...
