Long term goals, and then figure out realistically how I would achieve those goals, and everything came around to ----- Real Estate.I've been reading BP for over five or six months now, and while I have two very close friends in real estate (one in AZ, one in Cali), I do not pretend to know anything about it, nor do I plan to be as aggressive as a lot of people here with flipping and such; however, I do understand that if leveraged effectively, it can help me reach my ultimate goals, while also doing some wealth building as a nice bonus.I left the insurance industry about five years ago to pursue some other endeavors, such as starting my own travel agency; doing freelance writing around food and travel, and launching a website all about women in the culinary industry.

actually im looking to wholesale it. the property doesn't need any work beside whatever changes the new owner would make. the 2 bedroom pulls in 1100 a month. the owner lived in the 3 bedroom but is currently moving out. i estimate you can get 1400-1500 on the 3 bedroom and another 800-900 on the one bedroom. i was also thinking you can rent each room separately to college students for $700 a room. marist college and the culinary are less than a mile away from the house, with vassar college and dutchess community college with in the city as well. there is a lot of room for profit in this home either way you go with it. safe neighborhood and great neighbors close to entertainment and the local post office as well as the hudson walkway and river. both hospital are a few minutes away along with the malls and good selection of gyms and restaurants and churches.

I don't have any intentions to go to college whatsoever, my current possibilities of work that I am passionate about are real estate, music, and culinary arts, none of which I have any interest of going to college for, thus getting a GED instead of finishing my high school diploma seems like a very good option for me. 

In my mid 30's I went back to college, and got a 2 year degree in accounting, In my first full time job out of community college, I landed a Controller position making $4,000 more than the highest paying position I had in my culinary career.

My main reason for wanting to know more about investing is for financial security, thats is why for my investments i want to pay cash, but before i get that far i need a lot more information. i have a wife and 3 kids and like in a small town with a population of 12 thousand. i love to cook and went to culinary school.

Vassar, Marist, and the Culinary are all in Poughkeepsie, so I am hoping in the right area, there would be students/faculty/etc who would like to rent.
