Acquisition is the root of real estate investing - if you can master the systems and processes around that you will have a skill that can be translated to bigger and bigger deals.I'd advise against developing on your own at first - if you find a partner that is knowledgable then go for it.Syndications can be great, they also can be horrible.

Hi Greg, I remember working on my master plan to make it out of the matrix in 2006.

Additionally, due to limited capital and the desire to minimize risk in a new country (for us) we employed a Master Lease strategy.

Are all 4 units metered for gas and electric separately or on master meter? 

I got a master's in real estate and finance from one of the top colleges in the country for less than that. 

Buy a 3/2 (if possible), live in the master, rent out the other 2 rooms to friends.

After that, I got a large dog crate and set it up in the master walk-in closet. 

I'm looking at a duplex opportunity that says "Corporate tenant, PadSplit has a low-risk 2-year master lease that protects your investment and alleviates landlord headaches

I'm now putting a lot more into public markets (index funds, stocks, Master Limited Partnerships, Business Development Companies, bonds).

He learned that from the masters at Fortune Builders.
