Will:Check out C-Gate Construction.

You might get out of the gate slower than many, but you'll have less risk.Are you a Dave Ramsey follower?

Also, this type of O&G investment is the most highly tax-advantaged asset class, even more so than real estate.Another discovery was that it's nice to have a steady stream of O&G cashflow in my portfolio to cover the inevitable hiccups with real estate (single family homes), including turnover vacancy, unexpected repairs/maintenance, etc.For me, the O&G has been a stronger cashflow asset out of the gate, with expected decline as production wanes over the long term. 

An avid real estate investor who is a friend and serving as one of my mentors, made me aware of a couple plots of property in a gated retirement community in Arkansas.

It is single level, 2200 sq ft, pool, spa, 3 car garage, gated community on a lake.

I’m guessing it will be a challenge to find a substantial property in Somerville that cash flows for you right out of the gate (assuming you mortgage the property, that is).

I've also seen exclusions for pools that are not fenced or gated.

(I do with houses without this sign).Is it okay to walk up to a front door if the walkway gate is closed but the driveway gate is open?

Viktoria Brown,Mike Wolf put it perfectly No One can tell you a straight out of the gate best solution.

and tongue in cheek were do you get 200 dollar round trip tickets :)... but I get the point.buying sight unseen first time out of the gate is and can be highly risky.
