Vehicle expenses are one of the major costs to consider, so living nearby helps reduce those expenses and saves you time.

Too difficult to access our vehicles and the Fort Knox of cameras.  

Lease options are the vehicle of choice here, until I sort out how to get to the other side of the ceiling imposed by debt to income ratio.

Instead, you must invest in a purely passive way, such as a syndication.Second, real estate is a tax-favored asset and investing in a tax-favored asset through a tax-deferred vehicle is a bad idea. 

Just started with a new employer that pays for housing, vehicle, and fuel.

I'm look more for a vehicle that I can place my investment, let it work for me in the background, and I can reap the returns while I go about my career and family duties.

Personal background: Married with no kids, 100% debt free, live a rather tame lifestyle and don't spend large amounts of money, two newer vehicles (2020 & 2024) so no vehicle purchases expected for the next 10 years. 

I know many folks that started a business with just a business card, telephone, a vehicle and ambition. 

. - ACH payments are received by investors on the 1st of every month, so participation in our fund is a purely passive investment vehicle that's open to accredited investors only (and like Patrick said above, accredited or not, anyone can purchase a note).As an added bonus, investors in our fund can redeem shares to purchase notes upon availability. 

(Only if you are SERIOUS about real estate as your wealth/career vehicle.)Make sure you join a brokerage that is large, established, and has a reputation for top performance and excellent training.Once you learn the basics and get out into the field to see the state of the market, you'll learn the price points and be able to know a good/great deal when you stumble across it.I have made some of my best (most lucrative) buys from meeting with a seller who wants to list, and when we discussed the price, I knew it fit my parameters, so I bought it!
