As long as you stay away from 'self dealing' that is one of the biggest things to watch out for. 

When things went "pop" south of the 49th and we watched them slide off the tracks, there was an about face in Ottawa (a slow one, but it did finally happen) and regulators for residential real estate financing started to reverse course.It is still easier to borrow to buy real estate than it was in the 80s and the unprecedented run of low - almost no - interest rates has helped fuel the continued rise of several real estate markets in the country which should have gone "pop" themselves some years ago.

When I was 13 I started my own landscaping company in NJ (Divine Landscaping) and just recently started a video production company (Non Stop Productions).Through the 4 years I have been in Raleigh, NC I have seen an enormous change in real estate and I am tired of sitting back and watching other investors get rich quick.
