I love how you’ve integrated the lessons from The Fountainhead and Frank Lloyd Wright into your personal and professional journey, especially as you pursue both beautiful design and a growing real estate portfolio.Your ambition to scale up to $20M and beyond is exciting, and I’m sure with your drive, experience, and passion for architecture, you’re on the right path.

If you are broke and trying to quit your job asap, the answer will be much different than what an acceptable answer would be for a professional investor who is a multimillionaire.

Whichever strategy you choose, ensure you're adhering to IRS rules about prohibited transactions and working with experienced professionals to structure deals properly.Regarding non-recourse hard money lenders in San Antonio, I don’t have specific recommendations.

@Greg Scott we're still seeing many competitor ads that violate the new law:(Not sure how so many "professional" PMCs missed this!

Tell everyone in your sphere of influence that you are now a real estate professional and would like to help them and anyone that they know buy or sell real estate.

I have spent hundreds of hours on the phone with Safeguard, attorneys, other investors and real estate professionals dealing with non performing notes and deteriorating real estate. 

Readers should seek professional advice. 

the event i went to in tampa last year at a resort had security but I think the other Mendenhall brother that no longer works there oversaw it they seemed professional and were ex military type guys..two k9 dogs were there. 

You lose all of the control and these are long term investments - but in my experience the returns match what I had on the active real estate and I am hiring professionals to manage the assets.  

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
