at this moment making offers on flips & running my 1 man company.I'm also exploring different opportunities & even considering moving out of California. its so great to be engaging with fellow entrepreneurs/investors very best Alan

A real shame.People don't get into real estate to become prison wardens, but entrepreneurs who want to get rich, which in turn their very activities enriches the community at large.

I have a construction background, 14 years' home inspection experience, plus I'm an entrepreneur, so I thought it would be a good fit. 

It's great on the job training so to speak.Having just closed down my own restaurant after three years I'm happy to say this new passion of mine has helped revitalize my entrepreneur mindset.Learning about real estate has been my obsession for the past year and that path lead me to BP.The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and by the looks of things I'm in good company.Just admit to yourself you have a problem Mr.

I'm an Irish online entrepreneur, and now want to start to build a long term rental business - as passive as possible - probably in Ireland.

Kind of a strange question, but I heard it being discussed recently by a family friend that is a successful entrepreneur and I wanted your take on this.

I was just wondering today about the possibility of "business hacking" - whereby an entrepreneur that needs office/retail/commercial space to operate his/her business might buy a small office piece of commercial real estate, rent out other parts of the property, and operate the business from one of the units.It seems to me like this approach might have much of the benefits of "house-hacking" in the sense that the owner gets to manage the property from right next door, and can more easily maintain a substantial piece of real estate without property management being needed.Has anyone heard of entrepreneurs that operate in this way?

The emotional highs and lows are a roller-coaster for any entrepreneur and it is very helpful to share these experiences with others.  

While a determined person can be successful in any market (even Dublin), I think the USA is a far more rewarding place for real estate entrepreneurs than Ireland is.

The first thing you need to do is train your thinking from a save/spend mentality to an entrepreneur/REI mentality.
