There are no sure things in life and everybody sucks at stuff when they're first starting out.

Take no prisoners, who cares about these bottom feeders, they are the low life of the industry, trash them out, go for the jugular, put them out of business and burn the bridge, there is no bridge to save with these scum balls!

Additionally, as I enter phase II of life (the big "R" not too far off), I am in search of advice on good ways to build revenue streams from investment properties (single/duplex/ multi-family).

Otherwise, he needs to STFU and get on with his life.

Looking back, it appears that the right strategy was to borrow a million + from the bank, lock it in between 3.5 - 4.0% 30 year conventional and never see these rates again in our life time.

The corporate life is becoming very monontonous and way to political these days so I am taking the plunge to learn a bit more about REI to hopefully someday (soon) make a leap and fulfill a dream.My experience is limited to a few books, some great reads here on the BP forums, growing up in a DIY family (so I am pretty confident in basic carpentry), and priding myself with common sense.

I will take the risk since it is from J Scott creator of the Flipping Book.Building-Business-CreditDisclaimer: All that I am an accountant in real life, this is not accounting advise.

I suggest you ask questions and participate (don't take over the class, LOL) hopefully you'll get an instructor who has financial experience that can relate the materials to real life instances and not just read the book.

A large part of my life is doing the next right thing, but I still have to make money, and there is definitely money to be made here.

I'm sure plenty of you are familiar with this town since it is the home of the U of O Ducks football team.I have lived here my whole life after a short stent of being away when the economy tanked and jobs were almost non-existent.Since 2012 I have moved back here and started an air duct, chimney and dryer vent cleaning business.
