Officers all too often think the know the law simply because they wear a badge, when they actually know a lot less than most folks. 

Would it be a good idea to get a real estate license and work in real estate or are there other options to get in Missouri to get real estate experience without a license? 

A couple great co-living options is STR by the room, Student housing, sober living, Senior care... 

One thing to consider on the credit card option is that a lot of contractors don’t accept them so that could be an issue.

There is no one with experience in actual real estate high up in the company, which is the problem with most tech companies masquerading as real estate companies (including brokerages).Let me know if you want to know even more. :)

In option 2, your costs are $25k higher.

I can tell you what we actually did.  

I keep reading about all the weird financing issues in this space so I wouldn't actually put money in until mid 2025 or later.  

Is just the fact that no garage could be a no go for some buyers enough to build it even if it only raises the value by the actual cost?

It might be the way I have to keep going but it's why I'm exploring this fund option as an alternative.1.
