I am looking to house hack or live in flip in the next 2-5 years.My long term goal in life is to build a permaculture food forest and community of friends and family to live in harmony and cooperation with our environment and each other. 

This is just to find the right avenue to intelligently navigate those two opposite currents of being able to have a license and apply my acquired knowledge to be a succesful real estate investor without having that sword of Damocles called the Law hanging over my soon-to-be rich head.I welcome all suggestions and please rest assured that your solicitude is greatly appreciated.Thank you for taking your valuable time to read this missive.

While I'm not here to bash any particular 'guru' I am here to inform some of the new(er) investors before they purchase any of these high priced courses to riches. 1.

Ashley, hopefully you are not reading the books about how to get rich with no money down.

Welcome.That said, I'm with Jon and Rich here.

Some negatives, but not always dis-qualifiers, might be starting a brand new job, working in a transient industry (fast food), working in a seasonal industry (landscaping) or working in an industry that may be suffering in your area (brick layer).

Since I wanted to be rich, I made real estate my vehicle to get there.If the internet had been around at that time or I was born a few years later, I probably would have gone into computers since that is a good way to become wealthy also.I'm glad I chose this business.
