My wife, who had just finished Dental school, and I decided that Spokane, Washington was the area we wanted to live as it had great opportunities for her and was cheaper place than California to live.

@Kerry Noble Jr more turnkey possibly light rehab but I’m actually starting dental school in Illinois in August.

Vision is to eventually go down the entrepreneurship path open up dental business with my lady and eventually scale that into commercial real estate all while growing our residential real estate portfolio until one day we get financial free then can focus on giving back to the community after that.

You could also trade services such as carpentry, auto mechanics, painting, dental work and other services that you can do for the seller over time.4.

2018- Started this year as a security officer at a local university to take advantage of the tuition discount so that my wife could continue on with her education and she was able to finish graduate school and become a nurse practitioner.

There are a few practitioners who can hep setup a High Cash Value Par Whole Life Insurance Policy with Dividends as the main engine.

This type of deal requires a high degree of versatility, as well as patience and skill by the practitioner to close.Where to Spend Your MoneyIn my opinion, the question is not "should I spend money on Pens or Postcards"; the question should more appropriately be; How do I reach the most potential Homeowners and HomeBuyers who could use my services TODAY?

@Brandon, trust me... given the OBVIOUS fact that I am not a "guru" of any sort... just a practitioner, like you.My argument, (although falling on deaf ears) is simply that MANY questions that are asked (and there are a TON of great ones on BP.. again... thanks to you.) that cannot be answered quickly or easily on a simple 150 character post.
