Well as province would have it they got a contract to build a big condo highrise for a Japanese firm.. the Japanese firm was paying cash 50 mil..

It's hard competing against wall street and all the high frequency traders.

The Car companies are doing what the Japanese do when they "Pull" on the Market, instead of "Pushing."

I am a former commodity trader.

As I learned being a stock and forex trader, there will ALWAYS be another good deal down the road, someone's always gonna cheat, someone's always gonna default on property taxes/ mortgage, someone is always gonna die and leave an estate. take your time now to learn the basics get an okay-ish job to save up money and then go or it.

I'm the author of the book in question and I wanted to weigh in a little here.You will get mixed reactions from out of state investors.You'll also get them from in state investors.And from stock market investors.And bitcoin.And farmers, ranchers, union workers, day traders, bankers, etc.Not everyone has the same success so not everyone has the same experience.

As far as your crowdfunding site question, my inclination is that the IRS would consider this the same as buying a stock or mutual fund as an investment and not being an active trader or real estate investor that would qualify you as being "in business".  

@Logan Brockmeyer Welcome to BP prescott is a great little town and as so many realtors in your area have told me you have a Trader Joes.

Their property is a couple blocks from Mitsuwa the Japanese grocery market, not sure of the exact street.

That video brought tears to my eyes.Then, the video mentions something like people who earn $150k, or $300k (can't remember) tell everyone they don't earn enough money to purchase a property.Then, there is the story I told 100 times on BP about the 20-year old Japanese girl who ran away from her parents in Japan, arrived in this country with zero money, never got a job, never had a driver license, never had a boyfriend and in 7 years she owned (financed) 18 condos and single family homes in upper middle-class neighborhoods and she called me on the phone and told me she had purchased a $550k house in Las Vegas and another house in Victorville California making her total 20 houses.It was strange when I met the Japanese girl in 2001 because I had just purchased my first apartment building that was 28 units and she saw me working on the apartments every day and she wanted to hustle me for free work and rides all over the city.
