    Tell me about your biggest failures

    CHAT 
    Curious to hear your failures/losses in building your business. This month has been one of the most hellacious months I've experienced in quite a while, business wise. Pipes bursting everywhere in my rentals after the cold front that's currently hitting the southeast, deals falling apart...

    How I'm getting 2.22% debt currently

    REAL ESTATE 
    To all my fellow real estate people, I thought you may benefit from this tactic I'm using to get crazy low interest rate debt. We like to call it Borrowing money the long way, here's how it works (the numbers are from a real deal I'm currently doing): Seller has a house listed for 165k I offer...

    How I got my 1st lambo for "free" (to me)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I had a fun story I thought I'd share on how I got my first lambo for free, well sort of. I invest in real estate and one strategy I love to do is sell houses owner financed. Why? Because I get the monthly cash flow that a rental provides (usually more) and I don't have to deal with maintenance...

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Hey Guys. Long time no talk... I've been on this forum for years and haven't been on in about a year or so and thought I'd share how my life has changed since. I figured I'd make a post outlining where I'm at today and how I arrived here. Some of it will repeat the prior posts I've made, but...

    MINDSET 
    I'm curious to hear what strategies you guys use to remain consistent. Those days when you've got other shit in your head robbing you of motivation, direction, or simply feel like giving up, how do you guys stay on the path? For the longest time, I've been the type that would have answered...

    Labor intensive business idea

    IDEA 
    Fastlaners, I have an idea for those who may be interested. It's not a new concept, but one that is in demand, and not too much supply. Construction site cleanup. Many times, people who flip homes like it to be spick and span after they are done renovating. This includes cleaning up any...

    Hey Fastlaners, I wanted to briefly share my story thus far to hopefully inspire those who are younger or struggling. 3 years ago, I was a struggling drug addict.

    What have you done in the past 30 days?

    EXECUTION 
    We all see it a lot on this forum. “Just launches new business” “how do I get started” etc. Sometimes, all you need to do to snap out of action faking is by opening your eyes to what you’ve actually done. To see what kind of results you’ve actually produced or haven’t produced. this is the...
