Any advice/thoughts welcome here.I've only bought/rented duplexes so far, so single-family homes are a new venue for me.

Any suggestions for a location / venue?

And again they are totally commercial in nature and as we know commercial loans have different criteria from NMLS and safe act loans.At least in the Venue's I have used them and seen them done.Just like fractionalizing a Trust deed is NOT a security is some states ( CA specifically) we agree to disagree on these issues.

Orange County has an unemployment rate of 4-5%, high income wage earners, educated work force, broad based economy, universities, medical centers, amusement parks, event venues, major league sports, and miles and miles of beautiful, accessible beaches.

Some tested their concept with a booth at the farmer's market before venturing into opening a restaurant, some taught at culinary arts schools, some created a restaurant/entertainment venue, some moved their business from a high rent area such as Portland's "The Pearl" to a more affordable rent area such as Vancouver's "Downtown" or "Uptown", some simply offered the city a cuisine that was not offered before.

. , @Justin Lovern , @Matt Good , @Miska Paulorinne , @Shawn Davis How about deciding a time and venue for the meetup?

Depending on your venue, 300k is not that much.

I play sports most of the day Choice of 45 golf courses-most free for life, 140 pickleball courts, 2000 clubs to be part of, listen to music at 3 different venues each evening and have almost all properties under great management with a personal assistant overseeing them.

My goal right now is to learn as much as I can from this site and other venues, then to possibly invest in additional real estate for rental income.

My point is, real estate is in part a safe and generally successful venue for long-term investment largely because it moves and changes at a glacial pace.
