There is a learning curve to note investing and it's also less intuitive to people who understand brick and mortar because they've rented or bought houses, but they've never been on the other side of a lending transaction.

It may seem counter-intuitive, but think about it.

Salesforce software is a great CRM(customer relations management) & I found it intuitive to learn.The latest is a Cloud service so you could access and share it from anywhere.What I liked is the the interactions can be given status tags and you know what stage the conversation is at, who's got the ball, what is need from whom.IMO, this CRM is suitable for almost every need.

That seems counter-intuitive to what I've been getting from the blogs, forums, and podcasts. 

Net difference = 0.In the end, it doesn't matter which way you choose to account for it, so I would do the one that makes more intuitive sense to you.

@Jason Young Its very counter intuitive but yes doing a 401k makes no sense if you invest in REI.I am very against 401Ks because you can only choose from crappy options that have heavy fees.I don't really like Self Directed Roths or any tax sheltered retirement accounts either because you are subject to UDFI (more details below) and cannot leverage your investment which is a pillar in real estate investing.

What's making other markets hot is the number of people leaving NYC and San Francisco for the more affordable markets, so those people leaving should be opening up some sort of inventory to give you, counter-intuitively enough, more of a chance to find deals there than anywhere else.
