I read all the great investing books, I listen to the bigger pockets podcast religiously.

One of the best ways to do it is through community organizations whether that be the local REIA, religious organizations, business networking events, etc. 

I did have a family, a very decent religious family who took a sex offender in, he did great, the family loved him until mom got home early one day and found him having sex with the 11 year old.The job I do is important, but the reason I am investing is that I look forward to a life where I do not deal with this kind of stuff on a daily basis.

However, different religious beliefs may have different opinions.

The issue arises from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's believe that he now has a religious obligation to either convert me to his believe (dhimmitude) or kill me as a heretic.

But then that all goes back to something I said under your religious thread, it all depends on what school of thought you subscribe to and what part of the media BS you want to believe and what you dismiss.

On the other hand, prior to indulging in real estate I studied the stock market religiously.

You would have a better than average chance of finding someone of good quality there ethically at least. ...Unfortunately, there are many people out there who "hide" by having a "religious" appearance.

I know not everyone has the same religious beliefs as me, but you can't deny the power of a big why!

I already have two teaching jobs and am not into something for nothing, instantaneous gratification, basically diseased mentality that I hear about all the time.Read David Lindahl's Multifamily Millions, Garret Sutton's Loopholes of RE (rich dad's advisor), and listen religiously to LUI (Lifestyles Unlimited Inc.)
