For ex.

People need to be careful about what they call themselves, an Investment Specialist is a backroom trader for a listed stock brokerage firm.

Over the past year, studying investing in my spare time has become a very active hobby; I day trade forex in small amounts, buy and hold stocks (dividends + selling occasional covered calls), and have been trying to in general be very frugal and conservative (no cable TV, negotiated down all my living costs, got a roommate in to cover the mortgage) and put away a very large percentage of my income.

You can certainly trade rent for shoveling though you are going to have REALLY unhappy tenants if their cars are still snowed in, now matter the reason. 

They may trade real estate or even other goods towards real estate. 

Heck they probably bought Iraqi dinars as well when that was being hyped.)When you find a bank that will lend you 4x your cash deposit for 30 years at 2.5% we’ll know it’s as solid an investment as real estate. until you’ve got to claim you are a currency trader who’s smarter than everyone else.

So for ex a duplex with an ARV 200k that you purchase for 130k, put $32,500 down, then rehab for 20k, then refinance at 75% LTV with a local credit union.
