A robust farmer's market, a new artists district, several new niche employers building down on Exchange St, a micro micro brewery, a proposed $400M expansion of the Historic District to the south of 25th St, and a huge mixed-use development in the works in East Central where the old Rite Aid was.Sounds great, but it's still planet Ogden. 

The hottest place on the planet!

FIFighter attended it a few times in the beginning but fell of the planet after that.

Real estate is truly a relationship business so take consistent action rather than get overly excited and burnout.Always keep learning knowing that real estate will always be here (until we destroy our planet).Best wishes on your investing journey!

The money is definitely not always greener on the other side of the country.

You will see it in virtually ever commerical bathroom on the planet.. 

So does sophisticated investor mean "everybody on the planet other than accredited investors" or are there other requirements.If i'm understanding correctly I would scour bigger pockets forums, find the people talking about syndication, contact them directly to ask if they have x of 35 slots remaining for sophisticated investors, then put in 100,000 and collect 8% a year on it.I dunno for me personal i'd rather use the 100,000 for a leveraged investment townhouse or something in the neighborhood of the new amazon HQ2.Also makes me wonder where do accredited investors go to find a directory of these offerings to jump in to?  

I talked to them in 2010 when i had a semi complicated business model. and of course they lead you one you send your bizz plan.. and very few questions later lo and behold your approved.. subject to underwriting which will be 10k.. they preyed on beginners who wanted larger loans which no beginner on the planet would ever get from a legit lender.so I was like no way dude.. you did not ask enough questions.. so i passed then learned on American greed they are were crooks of the first order.

But I'm not the bravest soul on the planet.  

Or what if some moronic narcissistic imbecile decides to blow up the planet, now that that ability has been concentrated into the small hands of so few?
