As any real Star Trek fan would know, the Ferengi 1st rule of acquisition states "Once you have their money, NEVER give it back!"

Downsides would be you would lose STAR exemption (NY reduction in property taxes for primary residence) and the above mentioned exemption for financial aid.

But that's the exception, not the rule, and there are always ways to make deals sound sweeter than they actually are when you tell your money stories to listeners with stars in their eyes and money in their fists.So yeah, on any given day of the week I would certainly take $60K to the corner convenience store and buy the big scratch-off lottery tickets, rather than bring that money to REI and with a clear head try to go after anything that I would call a sane way to triple it within a year.And I will speak out against a corrosive, debilitating get-rich-quick mindset in real estate investing where I see it being promoted, a mindset that breaks so many people who could other be put on any number of quite reasonable long-term paths to amassing real and lasting wealth.

I’m interested in a meet up but stars need to align perfectly for me to be able to make it.

We do the same for our new-to-us 2/2 cabin in Gatlinburg/Smokey Mtn and are showing signs of increasing revenue as spring bookings and 5 star reviews come in.

Orlando is saturated with people that went to a free real estate investing event hosted by your favorite TV star.

we still haven't gotten below a 5 star review.

Hello,We are new to investing and of course want to star out with a business plan.

I am applying to Tech Stars Toronto this week.
