Peace!

@Shannon Peace thank you!

For success in any endeavor and creating common goals in humanity to concentrate on advancing civilization and being at peace. 3.)

There's nothing you can do to effect the economic environment around you.

If you want a peaceful outdoorsy vacation in nature, away from the crowds then I would actually stay away from Springdale.

Have not hung my license yet, I’m currently in the interviewing phase.I’m really looking for an office with a mentorship environment at this point, since I such a newbie in RE.As far as an area I’m looking something in theDuPage County- Elmhurst, Oak Brooke, Glen Ellyn etc.

Peace and apologies to you! 

Private and hard money is available everywhere, however finding connections in your local area may provide more peace of mind since you are more likely to have the opportunity to meet and connect with the lender in person.

The pros far outweigh the cons, which include:Safer living & health conditions for tenantsA peace of mind for you as owner & for tenantsWhich can then in turn directly or indirectly, depending on your perspective & outcome, reduce vacany rates

I have always loved working with my hands and I am looking to gain financial independence by byielding my assests, and real estate renting seems like an awesome environment to do both.
