It took a lot of good timing (Y2K), good connections, luck, and hard work to parlay those degrees into a lucrative line of work.The one thing I will say - college degrees are practically necessary for a youngster to get an interview at bigger companies.

How can you parlay this opportunity to help you out in the long run???

Do you have variable wages that you "pay yourself" or do you have different wage rates for different types of work you do?

I'd wager they take in a million or more a year.I just got a contract back at a roughly 25k purchase price.

If done property, you can parlay that 5K in larger deals.

I am a polyglot with lots of construction and renovation experience and am looking to figure out how to parlay that into some Fix and Flips.

Although you could do what is called a Tenant-In-Common (TIC) arrangement where an investor has 1031 exchange funds and wants to parlay that money into a syndication.

Shame on them.I would wager that 99% of AirBNB hosts don't have the capital or pull to buy a mega major IPO like this at IPO price so in that sense IPO price is already a discount. 

If you have any book/resource recommendations I would greatly appreciate them@Brian Wagers - Thanks for the comment.

In fact, I'd wager it would be a detriment to about 50% of the potential buyers.
