I have approximately $200k that I feel comfortable working with, and I'm hopeful that other more experienced members of this community can help guide me in the proper direction.I currently work as a broker of commercial processing equipment (Pharmaceutical, Food, Mining, Chemical, etc.) and am confident that the skills I've developed in this profession will help me moving forward.I like the idea of buying and holding property, though I'm trying to be as open minded as possible as I'm aware that there are many different avenues toward wealth creation in this industry.Thank you - any suggestions, advice, warnings, or words of encouragement would be appreciated!
