Just a couple questions. Been listening to you guys for a few months. I like and agree with everything,

but I'm in a weird situation because I can't get past baby step six because I don't own a home.

We've been renting, my wife and I've been married for seven and a half years,

and we've been renting for seven and a half years.

We were kind of waiting for house prices to go down, and they never did.

So I ended up starting a business with my sister.

She lives in Iowa, and we bought like three condos with her that are rentals, and also bought a

place with her down in Yuma, Arizona.

They winter there.

And so I have four paid for income producing properties.

I have a couple hundred thousand dollars in the bank.

My wife and I both make a good income.

She makes around 100 grand.

I make around 100 grand.

I'm self-employed.

She has a 401k that she pays 6% and the company matches 6%.

So we're sitting in a good spot.

Here's my dilemma.

I want to continue to grow by rental properties.

I want to buy like a duplex, move into half of it, pay it off in a couple years or less,

and then buy our dream home.
