We have a few investments in real estate but another corporation just established as a machine shop we worked with for many years.

The almost year I spent learning and gathering information, "Gurus" and "Get rich now" systems were common and I always thought to myself "Why would someone throw away a winning powerball ticket to go play the slot machine?"

WAIT WAIT WAIT...Everyone just stop.Let me paint a picture for you here.I used to be a robotics researcher, scientist and engineer.I have worked with NASA, IHMC (The Institute for Human and Machine Cognition), and IIT, Istituto Italiano Di Tecnologia.I have worked with the brightest minds on this planet.

We can add our own machines but say that they are for exclusive use of one unit in the building.

@Matt Gilroy I own apartments in Indiana which are C- class cash flow machines.

I've done the same with trying to find the perfect vehicle, the perfect washing machine, the perfect property management software, etc.I'm better now.

The responses were:2 disconnects, 2 wrong numbers, 1 "we don't do that", 3 answering machines, 1 receptionist, and 1 that just continued to ring.At that point, I figured I would rather travel a bit and work with a real specialist in the subject regardless of their location.I actually put "attorney atlanta" into BiggerPockets' search box.

A two year program in welding, machining, or HVAC can write their ticket.

I'll take a 8% CAP on one $500k Seattle house all day over a 9-10% cap in Atlanta on 5 $100k houses - fewer headaches investing locally, less management, and fewer washer machines to break lol.

Those are cash flow machines.
