My suggestion is to continue being active on BP, get out to some networking events and seminars and also educate yourself through books and podcasts. 

In Miami, i have my family and also have great opportunities to build a career there from my parents relationships.Now, im not sure if when i graduate, go to Miami where my family is and start from scratch or if i should stay here in boston and continue building relationships to be much ahead when i graduate.What do you guys think?

.: I wanted to get involved in land investing and made a post about it during the summer and have continued to look at it until now.I was questioning if I should trust a land guru in my area so I asked about it and got some feedback.So then I have searched for land investing education programs and a name was at the top on google and I saw he had a lot of information out there.I did research on him and watched a lot of his videos and it all sounded good but I heard him talk about how he now owns over 1000 doors in multi family, so I started thinking about it. 

In fact, invest outside Calif for sure.I suggest you continue to rent and buy an investment property first.

When you do a 1031 exchange, the next property you buy continues down the same depreciating term. 

But Im heavily lacking true mentorship to take me to my intended goal of reaching the financial independence community so I can continue to gain more of my freedom and time with loved ones!

They will continue to get 360 month loans for the 'cash flow'.

If you can continue to get an 11% return, I would stick with stocks.$500,000 will turn into $1,000,000 in less than 7 years.Great return and little to no work.You may want to consider spending $400,000 on stocks and $100,000 on a rental property.Take the $100,000 towards a property and see if you can make a return and handle the work involved.Best of luck!

Quote from @Mike Paolucci: Quote from @Lolo Druff: I am looking to buy my first investment property, and my goal is to continue building this portfolio every year until I can live off my rental income entirely.

Don’t know if this will continue to work in the future, but has worked for me in the past.
