I'm thankful for BP becauseit has enhanced my abilities as a broker as I've learned more about the many nuances of real estate investingI now have a reliable network of people to ask advice, who understand when I need to ***** & moan, and will celebrate my successes with me.

Leverage enhances your long term financial health but requires you to keep bringing in money... lack of leverage slows things down but gives you the opportunity to walk away from your job and live off a part time job working as a Walmart greeter.

I wanted to post and try out my new enhanced Pro signature.

@Jeremy Tillotson  Collaboration is a good thing.  

I run an investment real estate firm here in Orlando, if you would ever like to collaborate in the future.

The ARV was a collaborative effort between my cousin (the financier), the real estate agent and myself.

I don't think location particularly matters provided they have a strong background in real estate and tools that make it easy to collaborate remotely.

However, using a self-directed individual retirement account (SDIRA) or an e-QRP (enhanced qualified retirement plan) for real estate investments comes with certain complexities and considerations.

This can also be enhanced by rehabbing the property to get market rents.Regarding 1., I think this is a great place to start.

I am eager to collaborate with Bigger Pockets contributors to learn more about expanding my business and to get insight on different types of investing.
