I would advise a newbie to invest in real estate, provided they get the proper training, a great support team and ongoing education.  500K properly invested in different  real estate venues would give even a newbie the opportunity to realize a healthy ROI each month from their investments.

One thought is to look for the "gratis" industry magazines like "Coastal Living" or "Dream Homes" (San Diego) sitting out in front of broker offices or similar venues catering to this segment.

We may be working out an owner finance deal.The question is, what are some creative options that I should consider for the use of the building without having to spend too much money in renovations.For example, turning it into lofts can be very profitable but will cost way too much.Some ideas I can think of is crossfit space, maybe an event venue (weddings, etc), what else is hot in the market for warehouses????

Thanks for putting out such a great venue for us all to get together and share!!!

Thanks Don-you're TOO nice for this venue!

Plus other successful projects) I have had to parade in different venues outside of RE investing, therefore, no grand capital.

There are numerous apartments, a Marriott hotel,  dog friendly parks, walking paths, fountains and small "lake", entertainment venues, night clubs, retail, boutiques, yoga, gyms, restaurants and personal care beauty services minutes away, There are many corporate HQ's within a few minutes drive, plus it is on the tollway and 5 minutes from 121.

Does anyone have performance experience with STR properties close to major sports venues. 

Hey there, I'm an agent from St George checking out this venue!

Hopefully we'll have clarity on whether or not this is a suitable venue Monday of next week.If we flunk here I'll find something else.
