I am working on my strategy to get out of the rat race in the next 5 years and then concentrate on real estate and other businesses (including a B&B on the beach in Jamaica)My short and long term goals are below. 5 year goalTo make $5,000 per month passive income from real estate by 2020 to enable my retirement from the UN at 55.

Prohibited in all states is the refusal to rent because of ethnic background, race, religion, sex, sexual proclivity, age, marital status, or income source. 

It has been discussed so much that there are ten dead horses at the bottom of the pile, that we keep beating.Let me see if I can answer accurately.

@Tony NguyenThere will be many folks that will likely disagree with you on this topic, so I won't beat the eventual horse. 

You know back in the day that was an attractive SoCal horse property option.

Thank you all for the information and I almost am in order to purchase within the next year I have a couple things I want paid off then I'm off to the races.

New to REI.Looking to get out of the rat race ASAP.Would someone please point me in the direction of a Creative Real Estate Investor Association near Wayne, New Jersey?

Sweet man, I'm glad to have a fellow investor back on the horse, please I'm interested to hear a story or two of your past investing please share if interested!!!

Here's a quick run down...My father purchased a ranch property back in the last boom.Purchased for about 1.5 Million.It's a horse property and one of the borders had an issue with us and to get back at us sent out Building and Safety.We come to find out that the property was purchased with the idea that all 2000 + Sq ft of residence was legal, we come to find out only 900 + Sq ft is legal, not even the pool is legal.They want us to bring everything up to code and draw up new plans reflecting such.Our realtor says we have a great case and can sue the previous owner, what can happen in this case has anyone ever experienced something like this?

I'm moving on but for the sake of education do I have any options at this point or would I be kicking a dead horse.
