. - I like the creation aspect - creation of houses that I'd like to live in, creation of a sustainable living (hopefully for many future years as well).- I like studying real estate - learning more about what I'm doing, learning about what other people are doing, learning about all of the aspects of building construction that I can.- I like seeing what's happening in my cities and others - what works, what doesn't.- I like design and I like function - creating a strong combo of these things interests me.- I like the people I meet along the way.

I have developers in my city building affordable housing that costs $300-400k per unit and it is considered a great thing because the buildings are "green" and "sustainable".

It has created sustainable income that provides for my family. 

A business needs to always be promoting to create and sustain both growth and income.Real Estate Investors, whether current, budding or those considering, need to learn that success depends 100% on building a profitable business.Almost EVERY newbie I see come here - and too many of the long-timers - bring with them a disturbing lack of financial savvy and business acumen, yet they want to "be their own boss", "fire their boss", replace their salary, build a REI business.

I believe that those markets that have experienced the most significant bust and continue to sustain increases in population will have a greater chance of experiencing above average appreciation.

@Just Don:I am a firm believer in sustainability, so my opinion would be to refinish the pine floors.

The trick is, if you're new to inner city investing, is to wait for (are help) the community get the necessary features in place to sustain revitalization.

If I was to pay the normal hourly fee for all the great professionals at the meeting lending me there time and expertise, I am sure it would have been great.I was taught by David and Freedom Founders, how to create monthly sustainable cash flow, how to do it in the most tax mitigated environment, how to hedge inflation, how to preserve principle ( I lost no money during the covid market crash due to David's and Freedom Founders wisdom), how to use infinite banking concepts, as well as create family offices and family legacy.
