  11.  @oddities-whatnot  Don't expect to buy a nice house in a good area at first, start with what you can afford and trade your way up. Invest in yourself to improve your earning potential and /or learn practical skills to enable you to improve your property and add value.

  12.  @yetidodger6650 To be very clear, if all the expenses of a landlord aren't covered together with an element of profit, it's an uneconomic and unsustainable business to be in. It's not a risk free business.

  14. @chrisviking7807 Don't be a peasant, with this type of mindset you will never be anything else. Invest in yourself and improve your earning potential.

  25.  @lbun-n5h  I have never been been envious of anyone who has more than me, it's counterproductive and unhealthy. I have always done my best and made sacrifices when necessary to achieve my goals. I now have a very comfortable life through my own efforts.
