You must do more if you want to learn more and in this way the path is illuminated by the walking.

Financial Intelligence for Entrepreneurs: What You Really Need to Know About the Numbers by Karen Berman and Joe Knight (published by Harvard Business Press) is a good read that can really illuminate business financials for anyone wanting to scale and get taken seriously.I enjoyed David Greene's Long Distance Real Estate Investing.

@Aaron Gordy has illuminated some of the issues with taxes.

Again check out the BP calcs as they are a wonderful way to get some numbers underneath you and it will illuminate what other pieces of information you will still need to figure out.

Thanks everyone for the illuminating response.

I will see what I can do, it would be illuminating.

Anyone have anything to add or see anything worth illuminating farther in the graphic?

Look at how 10,000 flashlights shining on a thin board won't do anything except illuminate it, but if you FOCUS the light into a laser you can cut a hole thru inch thick sheet metal. 

Hey BP Community,Please excuse my naivete, but I have a question that could use some illumination; I live in west Harlem and have plans of investing in multi-family/ small apartments in the area.

trespassing laws in that area can illuminate these issues.
