While this forum is primarily Real Estate driven I was wondering if there was anybody that took there income earned through Real Estate whether it be via rehabbing,buying and selling, landlording ETC. and invested it into another market sector?

If this was a deal or a nice Multi there would not be a seller looking to bail and finance it.the Multi sector is red hot for quality assets as has been posted.I suspect this is a semi ghetto slumlord situation with a ton of deferred maintenance and really tough tenant demographic

Ideally you want to pick markets that have good job growth, a good employment base, positive in-migration, a healthy housing market, and be somewhat diverse in its industrial sector profile.
