nah to retire or ball. you can still ball…BUT…

that is so true. i don't think many jobs do either, even the ones that deal explicitly with finance.

it's a problem when you gotta drop her off at the flight and then go to work!

it's a slow process. it's really capital intensive especially once you get over a certain number of units and have to get commercial financing. that's why the tip below on recordkeeping — eventually you'll have to prepare financial statements to get $, and that is painful.

honestly rentals are better since you have control over operations. I am invested in nothing but rentals and stock index funds. it's a little aggressive and simplistic but I can't spend that kinda time reading prospectuses

they are kind of the worst of both worlds — you lose the stability of bonds and the upside of stock.

I don't think being an employer is actually all that. most small businessmen I know are basically one or two-truck contractors who have basically just bought their job.

i have to get my wife off some 2520 nonsense like making your own yogurt from time to time / too much Goodwill / taking 5am flights to save $$ but otherwise all good.

you wrong on the facts. post-BK borrowers are the most attractive

one year, all my properties fell apart and I would up with enough Southwest points to get a companion pass, which was ill.

since you got a rental, suggest running all rental expenses through your card. gets you points and it's easy to tally up expenses for tax season.

every personal finance article is framed pretty similarly tho

I hear you on that. I guess I just didn't worry about it; like the factors that would have been $ problems for me tended to show up as personality problems earlier, so it's not like the $ issues were out of line with what I already knew most times

I'd put it around 3-6 months unless it's moving fast

it was an important convo with my wife and I since we were each in our 30s and homeowners. but it's so nice to be on the same page with it. having a partner that shares your investment philosophy is dope, although we have more differences now since we have more options.

man did they EVER.

CFPB does generally pretty good work in the education / consumer protection regard.

yo they SCREAM it too. only time 2520 dudes are happier is when they watching the NCAAs and the Princeton offense results in a 43-42 game between Yale and Weber State

Biggie's got the best narratives.
