A good chunk of my career of day jobs has been in analyzing data and forecasting the future.

A turnkey property is already renovated and ready to rent, so you don’t have to worry about repairs and can start earning right away.

And as you go through a career you learn what you like and are good at and what you dont like and are no good at.. 

A 1031 Exchange is also known as the Tax- Deferred Exchange, which allows the different shareholders as well as different depositors to reinvest the profits that these people had acquired as well as earned, most particularly when it comes from the different financial transactions of the property that the investor had advanced without acquiring different taxes from the government.

I do plan on getting into land one day, just have to get a little further in my career first.

My overall goal for my professional career is to start an investment firm and own a big multifamily portfolio and get into development.

Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.

The only people who succeed at birddogging are the ones who learn everything they can and know it's going to be a low-paid slog so they do the work hard and one day it changes because you have earned more.
