Now I know realtors are salesmen and middlemen and I am not a huge fan of them in general but I can't help but wonder if he is right about this.

I'm personally a fan of C-corporations, though they are also complicated.

I'm not a fan of some of Cleveland's governmental restrictions (point of sale, etc.), but it can be a great market if properly navigated.

We're talking commercial dehumidifiers and fans.

Huge fan of Exp thanks Tyler! 

Let me add my two cents, although I'm not necessarily a big fan of this type of comparison, actually for the exact reasons you mentioned: people have different tastes and opinions and both could work from a lifestyle and/or investment point of you so I wouldn't pin them against one another (and I'm not suggesting that's what you're doing).Foreigners who buy there do it for lifestyle, investment or a combination of the two.

I am always a fan of financing so I have the ability to pay over time and the money I pay with future payments would be worth less due to inflation, freeing up my capital on hand for other ventures.

I personally am not a fan of partners at least early on.
