Additionally, it's funny that you listed Storage Units since I've been fascinated by them as an investment since high school.

Real estate investing is a fascinating concept, specifically multi-family real estate investing, but it seems like it is difficult to begin in New York City.

Real Estate (buildings) has always fascinated me. 

@Zevi Arem I'm a very investment oriented mind guy to begin with lol i started investing while I was in College after i took my finance 101 class and was fascinated with power of compounding haha. 

Our economic reality is that the majority of Americans have no savings and only put aside a very small fraction of their paycheck in the belief that nothing really bad could possibly happen to them, that stability is an integral part of the society they live in.My own life experience has been that things can change drastically very, very quickly.A large part of that has been watching economic developments in the country of my birth, Greece, where I lived for seven years from 2000-2007 as an adult and got my start in residential renovation, From 2008 to the present day, I have watched the country transform into a begging pauper-state wholly in thrall to its financial overlords.

It just really fascinates me and excited me!

I have no real estate investing experience but I find the subject extremely fascinating and viable in regards to creating greater financial independence.

I find it fascinating that of all the marketing we do, the number one way people find our rentals is the sign in the yard.Then, of course, there are tons of sites online for marketing - Craigslist, ForRent.com, Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, etc., etc.And we screen everyone through services like National Tenant Network (ntnonline.com).

., thank you for sharing this totally fascinating and terrifying (and yes, very brave) article!

As an economics student I find “creative financing” fascinating, learning about the many different ways one can finance a deal!
