This is hard to see, but take a look at the slide behind me "It says No Gurus" My REI group theme for 2018 has been "Real People Doing Real Deals". 

I'm hearing similar themes in this discussion forum. 

In your case, a repeated theme Kiyosaki mentions is that "business is a team sport" (and if you're the smartest guy on your team, your team is in trouble).If you haven't read it, I'd recommend Kiyosaki's book Cashflow Quadrant as it explains his idea of E-S-B-I (employee/self-employed/business owner/investor).

If you look at some of the REIT’s balance sheets some of theme including retail shopping malls such as Simon Property Group they have negative interest rates on some of there loans in Europe and other countries outside the U.S.

@Joseph MceneaneyOrlando is a great spot for short term rental vacation homes because, due to the theme parks primarily, the demand is year-round.  

If you review a lot of the competition, you'll also see some themed styling of the rooms and a few 420 friendly accommodations.As far as other sites, I used VRBO/HOMEAWAY and budandbreakfast.com (I am/was 420 friendly) to find more bookings.

This thread seems to follow a common theme: the blind leading the blind.Working CA defaulted property tax lists can be deceiving.You can get a list fairly easily, typically for free from county websites or ********** (dot) com.However, it's typically not as simple as knocking on the door and trying to negotiate a deal.Why not?
