In regards to predicting apprecation, I really like to tell people that you have to be LUCKY.BUT.. not in the way that if you buy a lottery ticket and hit the jackpot.

Investors generally want a CD with a lottery ticket attached to it. 

Besides picking the winning lottery numbers, shorting all the stocks and just happening across this legendary idea of electric cars and going to mars.. what would you differently in your early 20s finically, business, and personal development?

Go buy a lottery ticket .

This means they are still allowed in the Tourist Core, Commercial zoned areas, Town Centers and any area zoned anything other than Residential.Douglas County has a waitlist that is lottery based. 

But that is very misleading.It is "possible" in the same way that it is "possible" you are going to win the PowerBall Lottery.

My career, at least, has a very nice side to it that I would not give up even as a hundred million dollar lottery winner.

Maybe he inherited a lot of money or won the lottery and doesn't need to work.Stop worrying about what might be and live in reality.

Unless you hit the lottery, it's just not going to happen that fast.What you are looking at doing here is making a career change, you're not looking to achieve financial independence.I think it's important to make that distinction so you don't set yourself up for disappointment.

You can buy one lottery ticket and win a million dollars but just because it is possible doesn't mean it is a good business model.I wish I had started in Real Estate when I was your age.
