My approach was to buy into a neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio that had a lot of vacancies and low rents, but first researched the area and found one that the city planners had in their sites set for rejuvenation.

I am a planner.

That's when I figured out my financial planner makes less than I do and I was floundering, deworsifying my funds in various mutual funds etc....

Wealth means being able to do whatever the hell you want when you want.Most financial planners will tell you a net worth of $2-$10M will provide enough for retirement and financial freedom.

Depending on the plan you decide you might want to engage a Certified financial planner and REI team (agent, mortgage broker, CPA, contractor, handymen).  

I spoke with the planner on duty, and the trick is to first apply for a Zero Lot Line (ZLL) configuration.

I even reached out to hosts on Airbnb, and one said to call the city planner to get my STR permit. 

Asking the obvious question, have they talked with a financial planner who could help them out with things like Reverse mortgages, Life Settlements, ect. 

I liked doing bigger deals and working with engineers and land planners and developers.. so that's what I did.. you starve at first but oh the contacts you make along the way.. for me its been a 4 decade process up down side ways.. etc etc. 

I'm trying to get a property under contract and I'm dealing with the buyers financial planner.
