Sometimes you have to nurture your ideas without too much criticism until they've fully blossomed.

A lot of people think they're geniouses right now because their real estate portfolio's blossomed.

It takes time from a blossoming 9-5 job (there are numerous high paying jobs).

It has been wonderful in the short time I have been hear to watch several newer investors blossom and grow their businesses.

I have a semi rural that I rent out and haven't had problems finding tenants but I am in Blossom Valley area.

Ask them to coffee or lunch or dinner to pick their brains/discuss commercial real estate/how they got their start and see if the relationship blossoms to a mentorship. 1.

I actually started my real estate investment career by house-hacking and it has blossomed from there. 

Following the U.S. government debacle and ineptness in handling the post-Katrina disaster, virtually thousands of REI opportunities blossomed.

And so it never really blossomed like it could have or should have.. at least the East side of the lake. ergo the cheap by today standard property and no question meth and other social problems and it gets it share of Parole dumping.the West side of the lake though is a different Story Lakeport were I lived for 8 years was / is the county seat and that city developed with paved streets and no MH zoning so building stock is nicer.. and in the Kelsyville area you have the Riverias which were built in the mid 60s and all the lots had paved roads etc. with no zoning for MH.. this is were konocti habor inn is located that just sold. and then you have the rural acreages like you talk about in Middle town and you have Hidden valley lake which was one of 27 large masterplan community Boise cascade built throughout CA in the 60s.so I have been going there lived there worked there since I was 5 or 6 years old.. and I am older than that now..

What started out as a sideline business has blossomed into a full scale biz.Thank you both for your comments.
