I figured starting to invest now will let me get the head start I want while I have a thriving W2 job.

There are plenty of great areas in the larger metro region, but in the city itself the leadership has become so hostile to businesses, police, and taxpayers in general that I don't see it being a thriving commercial market again anytime soon.

And, I need that community to thrive so that I can keep thriving.Bringing it back to real estate... if that family's rent doubles because someone is making a 19% IRR by flipping the apartment building they live in, the question is: should the government do anything? 

Some people are made for it and thrive on it.

I believe in myself and that no matter where I go to school, I can thrive in the real world because of my attributes.

I have been presented with an opportunity to purchase a duplex in a thriving college town.

Look at larger shops like Lending Home, Anchor loans these shops do 1 billion in loans a year, but a lot of other shops are doing 100M -500M in volume and thriving.

And now that I have done my research and see the opportunity of a sailing charter business, I am excited to see my new venture thrive - it's called Picture Perfect Sailing.

Each market presented unique challenges, but we now have 3 thriving and legal investment STR's.
