It is not currently a store of value. 

I just bought all the drywall, cement board, and a 3/4 full thing of red guard water proofing that I need for my entire bathroom remodel for no joke $110, that would have cost me $400+ at the store but someone else who already finished their bathroom just had a ton left over.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

A place to store your money where it can be safe, reduce risk, grow tax free, and be highly leverage.

Two groups that I will consider investing with again are Colony Hills Capital for multi family and FNRP, which specializes in grocery and big box store anchored retail spaces.  

Also, I have heard success stories of folks finding good contractors at the home improvement stores early in the AM.

Need a place to store it and this place looks awesome!! 

I'm a civil engineer, and for example, I do the civil engineering/permitting for many Gas-Station & Convenience Store.

If so, make sure to visit/know of the grocery stores, restaurants, things to do, etc around the area even if just driving by.

I just subscribed to Pro, but I seem to have 2 different accounts: one for this part of the site and another for the store.
