Start with the beginnner's guide to REI here on Biggerpockets! Great resource for the beginner. There are also a number of really great podcasts that are very informative.

Really inspirational! I can't remember the last high quality personal day I took. If I'm not working my 3 jobs from 7 am to 9 pm I am spending time with my children! 

Wow farming! I have not met any REI investors who have genuinely considered jumping into that industry! It tends to be highly dominated by corporate, but if you are interested in community micro-farming, you can do a lot with a quarter acre garden. In some countries the richest folk are the farmers!

@Kris Bolzniak  That's great you had a positive experience. I am currently seeking to improve my credit score so I can get conventional hard money loans again. Had my identity stolen a couple of years ago, hit pretty hard. 

@Lucinda Toope. It's easy to point fingers. The bad reviews will always be more visible than the good, that's the nature of the internet is it not?

@Ryan Longhurst i had quite a number of issues with AMEX in the past and their added fees. Have you used other cards? Do you have anything to compare your experience with?

Thank you @Amber Castro! I know we have had our differences here on the forums, but it's nice to not be at odds for a change. 

I would go inactive. Seems as though you aren't getting the full value from it at this moment in time. Patricia Steiner says it well above. 

@Account Closed I am a big rural fan, and fortunately it doesn't seem to matter what state you're looking at, rural real estate markets will always be pretty affordable and stable.

@Tyrel McAllister can you give some examples on the cost of living in Fiji as an expat living there?
