Than I'd say look at what other involvement do they have with other industry specific organizations, if need to keep narrowing it down. 

If you want appreciation, identify markets with expanding industries, positive growth trends, and bright economic forecasts.Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards that appreciation!

Oftentimes, there's overlap between the two recommendations, but you also get a mix of different options.Also, to shed a little light on the insurance industry, premiums have increased significantly year over year across the entire country.

We do not recommend to any of our clients to pay points right now as the industry as a whole is anticipating rate cuts within the next 12-18 months.

BE VERY CAREFUL of fake lenders they are rampant in this industry they will tell you what you want to hear and they are very good at it.. they will then suck up front money out of you..

Hi Akhtar,This is Michael from Coldwell Banker UAE, American Company with global presence.Saw you are currently in Dubai, would love to connect with you so we can meet and discuss about what current investors do so you would be well prepared for this industry!

Posting the same question in multiple forums.After reading through, I learnt the lessons and applied it as regards questions I would normally ask about my interest in wholesaling as a strategy to starting in the Real Estate Industry, I realize a whole lot of persons had same questions and I learnt from the Responses on the various discussions.It also changed my perspective in the way I approached the vets in the house, right now I just want to connect, I mean we are seeking financial freedom and for most of us that is time to do what we want and if I don't have regards for your time by being valuable to you, then I don't regard you enough.

I am looking to connect with contractors in my area and network with other midwest investors as well.I am at the beginning of my journey and open to any advice from others in the real estate industry.

Industrial is great too, long term, but a little overpriced still for now. or sell, pay the taxes, invest in VOO, get 8-10% next 30 years, or invest in REITs, get 10-12% next 30 yearsor buy MUNIs, i'm getting 5% tax free, which is an effective yield of  7.94% for part of my emergency fundIf you die 1 day , 1 yr, 1 decade after you sign an Annuity, they keep all your money, your wife/kids get nothing, unless you add them, but then the returns do go way down and they were low to begin with, Remember the Annuity company is investing in VOO and last 20 years got 13% a year, (long term 8.4% since 1801) they pay you 6 and keep the rest, good luck brother :)

With that being said - my thoughts were that if I could land a job that keeps me in the industry and allows me to keep learning while saving some money - that could be beneficial.
