I would recommend a degree in business communications or leadership or management to help you think like a successful business owner and entrepreneur.

Your left the military with dreams of being one of the best entrepreneur/real estate investor who ever live and with that dream your main goal after you reach the money and the fame is to help and inspire other to never settle for less.

As a 25+ year veteran on the CRE side and an entrepreneur of CRE brokerages that have recruited 100's of brokers/agents understand not all, not nearly even many, operate in such flagrant dishonest manner.There are many many ethical and trustful agents/brokers who care deeply about what they do, and equally or more important how they go about doing it.

Hello guys, I am young entrepreneur with zero experience in the real estate business.

We have worked with and trained other entrepreneurs many times over and helped them develop Turnkey companies.  

Hi Everyone ,Let me first introduce myself to the community.My name in Kenrick from Aruba(the caribbean), I am a young entrepreneur on the island also involved in real estate.In this discussion I will elaborate more about types of real estate investments in Aruba & where I see opportunities.Aruba is a part of the Netherlands, but still we are autonomous, this being said the Netherlands still has some responsibilities with Aruba and other caribbean islands.Aruba has its own currency & its own government.For more info on Aruba: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArubaReal estate in Aruba:Arubas real estate I would describe as a strong market, we have seen only growth in real estate prices this after more then 20 years after a market correction due to the closing of a refinery leading to job loss and Aruban citizens migrating to other island.Aruba in the past years have seen major condo projects & is still being invested primarly from Venezuelan investors with there condominium projects.Property land prices have been rising as supply does remain short of the demand of houses.Land:In Aruba if you want to build your own house, 2 ways you could do this either buy a property land or a government owned land leased to you.Property land being the most expensive(most valueble) & government owned land being the cheapest  with restrictions are still available depending on size average size needed is 300 sq. meters or more.Housing projects is still a big business because of supply and demand, dividing big pieces of property land and developing them into housing project is a good business with draw back in regards to getting permission from government departments, must have a concrete/paved road, infrastructure in place all expenses for the real estate investors costing time & money with could lead into a delay of a year or more.Opportunity:Opportunity to buy either a big piece or a small piece of land which could easily be divided can easily double your money in 3 to 6 months time.

It is awful for me to loose that much money, but I was stupid to follow advice from 30 year old successful entrepreneurs that think nothing of loosing $10,000.

A little about myself, I'm an entrepreneur in my late 20s born and raised in Baltimore, MD.

A good source of help for setting up your business is also an organization called SCORE, which is made up of retired executives giving their time for FREE to help you, the budding entrepreneur.

I am an entrepreneur and CEO of a landscape contracting company for 12 years and a Purdue business grad (2010).
