Completely agree. My volume is high but I do upper body x 2 per week and lower x 1. And that works just fine. I run 40 miles a week though as well.

Yep take a look at newer videos. Fixed that mostly. I prefer to not have huge traps or neck, but good observation.

You want to get the benefits of hard work without the hard work or time. You can't lift for 3 months, read a bunch of shit and try and sell a fitness product. You need to look the part. That means you have to put in the work and the ti

LOL. Just LOL. I hate to be negative. But look at author. Look at his pictures. He's got no clue what it really takes or what he is taking about. Not bad advice, but not great. I've spent 20 years building my physique ( http:&#x2F

Yes. Vetting a good property management company is difficult. I've fired more than a few. But, now I have good managers in place. Typically, you can expect 10% of rents for management fee--well worth paying. You should factor this in w

I live out of state. Never visit them myself. Best this way. I used to live near by some of them and it becomes emotional instead of business.

Yes, it puts a large number of people out of play--but not software developers. That's why I recommend it to them. You can find deals for $100k where you put down $10-$20k. Which is a lot of money, yes, but I know it's possible, b

Great question. I like how you think. The catch in, IMO, is that you need the right knowledge to pull it off. It's not as easy as it looks and it does take some cojones--like you said. Most people say, "sounds like a good idea&quo

a) leverage cuts you both ways. Great when the market goes up, terrible when it goes down (particularly with a Loan-to-Value ratio of 90%). Not exactly. Only if you sell. My strategy is to buy and hold--pretty much forever. I get to get the

I have two commercial units. Usually the biggest headache, because you can't find property management to manage it and it's much more difficult to get leased then residential. I think some people make commercial work, but it'

I wouldn't do that at all. Instead invest in a more steady market. A good investment is one that has good return, regardless of market conditions. "Investing" in a boom market is speculation. You'll pay too much. Look fo

So, I thought I'd type up a bit of more detailed explanation of my story and why I think real estate is a great investment for software developers, since my previous comment was a little lacked. I bought my first house when I was 19. I
