Hi Matthew, Congratulations for being in this business for 35 years. 

Business travel to interesting places or that includes experiencing interesting events.You can try have your cake and eat it too.Best of luck with your investments

If you have your business incorporated or at least a DBA Versium I've been told Versium is a solid choice for skiptracing. 

I would say my end goals would be some financial independence and also some business knowledge through transactions.

To learn about CRE the best place right now to get a general sense of the business is something like chatGPT.

The challenge was separating business from personal relationship.

Quote from @John Lasher: I've heard from so many investors that they have put a pause on their flipping business.

These associations often provide networking opportunities, legal guidance, and best practices to enhance your rental business.

I guess they can feel blessed they weren’t crushed and sent out of business by the rampant theft that forced closures of even larger and well funded grocery stores in Detroit, Chicago, LA and NYC. 

I'm really busy with my w2 job working all the time to fund my investments.
