I am not sure what type of real estate investing you're considering, but it sounds like, with your family and busy job, you won't have a lot of time to be hands-on or personally involved. 

Good luck with the lawsuit - figure out a way to easily get the greater real estate development community involved since it affects everyone. 

In any market that you're looking into from OOS, it's very important to work with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.

Look for any cases that involve a rental company or have the words “eviction” in them.

I like the idea of being involved with and affecting the world. 

@Meena MallikFrom my experience, securing financing for commercial real estate involves understanding your options, such as conventional loans, commercial loans, private lenders, or partnerships.

They had named him Rommel on purpose, as they were involved with prison gang life and some people.. well I guess they simply choose to not reform or adjust.

I needed to do a minor variance, which wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be and my architect did most of the heavy lifting.

You would also want to ask what is your current rate, what rate can you get, what are the closing costs that are involved including points, ect.

Though I would mix with antifreeze if the heat is off and your winters involve freezing.
