Just some food for thought.

Beyond its global fast-food empire, McDonald's strategic approach to real estate ownership and management has been a cornerstone of its enduring profitability.

Thank you for your reply that gives me a lot of food for thought!

Depending on your amount you may want to consider a debt fund too as its less work and your money is deployed/paying you interest so you do not have to keep finding deal after deal. just some food for thought

I would be delighted to talk about the current real estate market in Kansas City with you.

I don't pay for tools, supplies (of the trade), food or drinks... 

Imagine this: dirt roads with massive potholes, jungle on one side and im paying almost $100/night and barely any hot water, the water in general is dangerous.. but foreigner yuppies like me everywhere walking on the road.. breakfast place La Paleta or sthing is full of ppl and theres dogs trying to chip away at your food, other side of the road major contruction happening 2 large condotels/apartments are being built.

I should preface my response with saying that I have never done this but can offer my opinion as food for thought at leastMy question is: What makes a "good" deal and/or how do I know when I've come across a "good" deal?

I live within walking distance to coffee shops, gas stations, and fast food restaurants.

My question is, if I can read most of the information given at sessions, and network with people in my region, or social media, what is the benefit of taking 3-4 days off work and spending a couple grand (entrance, flight, food, lodging)?
