Certainly even someone of your intellect must understand that if you're lying all day in order to promote investments that you do not have a sustainable business model.

Appreciation will drive your returns, not cash flow.

DealMachine is a powerful tool for real estate investors, especially for finding off-market deals through driving for dollars.

I didn't have much money, and not much experience but I used my background in finance to put together a syndication and buy an old office building and drive thru on .59 acres with the purpose of developing housing.My passion was creating housing in a city with under 2% vacancy and skyrocketing housing costs.

If you're looking to invest your hard-earned money, I'd also encourage you to actually drive through the areas designated as the STR zone.
