For me, I would do the ROI on a rehab, but sometimes it is best not to kick a gift horse in the mouth with on time rent and no headaches.

However, you can INVEST in real estate, private property, gold silver, notes mortgages, llamas, businesses, horses, stocks, bonds, basically anything but life insurance, collectibles, alcohol-The irs does not recommend or authorize any investment and if you look on their scam page it specifically says if anyone tells you the investment is recommended by them it is not true.

Still a few horses and cows around, but they are getting more rare, haha!

In 2010 I managed to pull myself into enough research that I felt confident to attempt to do my first deal however the gentleman who I partnered with was my interested in investing in my horse business then the house business and we went no where despite my attempts to keep him focused. 

He said he was going to and Lamar already wanted to do a lease on it but he owns hotels and horses and has his hands into a bunch of other stuff.

Don't put the cart before the horse man.

Obviously I will try to teach them how to manage money/assets but you can only lead a horse to water.  

You appear to be putting the cart before the horse.
