Surveyor in NYC looking for answers

[Mike Berlay]

Hello, everyone and thank you for spending some of your time checking out my problems and questions.
To make my story short, in 2009 prices and deals in my market told me that I will not save for down payment for primary residence and I need much more income to fill safe going to flip or buy and hold property. So I went the route to create more income first.
In the end of 2011 I started a business, I still do not have spare money to invest, as business is another thing you have to learn for years same as real estate.
And now I'm asking everyone I could: "what to do?", as last 6 years I spent reading books and trying, by still in the same place before financially. As I do not want to spent another 6 years running around and realize I was chasing my tail.
As I understand I need a customized plan to follow, but do know how to make one.
