“Alice asked the Cheshire Cat who was sitting in a tree "What road do I take?"
The cat asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know " answered Alice.
"Then, said the cat, it really doesn't matter, does it?”
― Lewis Carroll
"Investing" in real estate won't get you there. Investing in yourself and your business will. No one can figure it out for you. Once you "Figure it out" stay focused on your model.
