I'm lucky to have made some good money at my last startup, so I'm hoping to parlay that into a real estate business and avoid the city lifestyle.When I'm not working, I enjoy riding my horse, flying planes and working on my house.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.If your tenant doesn't see the seriousness of an eviction you can't make them care.Honestly I have become battle hardy over the years.

@Yeshua WilliamsI think you're putting the car before the horse.

A few years ago, my folks put the cart before the horse and had to pay a ton on the capital gains.

I'm clearing it now, leaving a dozen or so mature oaks and some border trees.I'd love to do something with it now for income (like self serve firewood sales or board your own horse stables) and get ideas for later.Looking forward to all the great ideas!

I'm just trying to be as proactive as I can, but I don't want to put the horse before the wagon so-to-speak.Any advice is welcome.

Don't put the cart before the horse- you should have a good idea of what these numbers should be before you start negotiating.

That scene where he is on a horse coming down the hill after his wife is murdered.

The jockey is always more important that the horse!

Its more rural than most areas surrounding Tampa so you can find houses at some solid price points but rental income wont be as high.Surprisingly enough its actually the horse capital of the world, I've worked with a few investors looking to find Airbnb opportunities to cash in on some of the events that come to Ocala due to its large equestrian presence.
