For context, I'm from Edmonton, and have been in investing in Alberta for last 11 years, and in Texas the last 1.5 years.

And back to your earlier post, yeah Bee Setups saw my original post too and asked me several times to take it down in order to receive a partial refund.

I think that it is a good long term investment with some serious upside, but don't kid yourself - your car (or your tenant's car) will likely get broken into at some point.

Stop investing time in workshop, and actually go out and look and work for deals.

@Christina Galdieri A 1031 exchange cannot be used for the sale of a business itself, as it only applies to the exchange of like-kind real property used for business or investment.

Make sure your website or social media clearly says you buy investment properties.

Markets are extremely important for real estate investment.
