I'm an engineering student planning to start a business after graduation.

What entry point do you usually do business in?

It is always good business to stay conservative on numbers.  

I don't butt into his business and we keep a professional, yet friendly relationship. 

I'm from Minnesota and I have a video editing business where I can work from anywhere.

Consider petitioning your GP to stop their side business of disseminating long-form life, parenting, and fitness advice on Twitter and focus on salvaging what can be salvaged of the current portfolio.If you are considering buying: Squirm a little longer.

I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

I just worry sometimes when I see too much gung ho... and maybe not enough practicality, so I try to step up and offer a little advice from my 7 years in the business.

@Alexander Schloe is my business partner and bro.

He walked away from his business letting his best friend take it over.
