    yea, we have a company find the renters and take care of the property for us. we are 600 some miles away from the place so we cant be checking up on it etc..

    we rent out our townhouse in raleigh and have renters most of the time. but a year and a half ago the renters contract was up and our renters moved out. they fucked the house up a bit. we had to replace the carpets, re paint all the walls, get the dish washer fixed etc.. the renters didnt get their deposit money back but we still had to put out around 4k to fix the place up. on top of that it took 3 months to find new renters to sign a year and a half contract. so during that time we had to pay the mortgage for those 3 months. came out to around 4k on that alone. so if you figure in the 4k for repairs and the mortgage that comes out to 8k for 3 months! :retard:

    we make money on the place now but we definitely had to put the money out to do so.

    just don't take a loan out right bro .. trust me on that. And I have money that I'll use for housing etc, business, not money to blow.

    that freaks me out - I hope to own my first house end of 25, and have one rented same time, even lined up a landlord etc in the area I'm looking to purchase the rental. I just refuse to take a loan out, so it will be a few.

    you must make room for other things.

    think about something you like doing, lets say you like going to the beach. now imagine literally being at the beach 24/7. that shit would get old after about a day no matter how much you scream "i am 100% dedicated to this beach bitch!!" :rofl:

    she does go to the gym in the morning like 3 times a week but its hard for her.

    balance to me is where you draw the line between everything - to me somethings will never be able to be balanced, I'll never be able to touch some things. But balance in a job, in lifting, in life - these are choices (esp since you are like me and anti marriage / family, fuck that shit dude) - that you can make for yourself. If you want to live 100% for one thing, you will burn out or regret it 20 years from now when you think of the rest of life that past you by. Just think about it in those terms for a bit, might help.

    well that is an issue you should work on.

    because that attitude doesn't = better results.

    its great to be dedicated, nothing wrong with that. but if you take it to the point that you leave no room for anything else and have nothing else to give you will either end up like the old man in the van or totally giving up bodybuilding all together because you turned it into a negative.
