It matters what your goals are and it is OK to do two of them that complements each other.  

Just do stuff that complements each other.  

If you already have that answer then its a matter of finding out what works best for your situation and what complements your skills.

I think our skills and background could complement each other. 

The guys who make the most money are those who know how to build teams for what it is they want to create/add as a business to complement an creative idea, not work at one job, focusing on one thing with no time to think outside the box.

An LLC loan will be commercial or residential portfolio and have shorter terms and higher rates, along with more reporting requirements and PITA.To me, the largest and most important reason for a partnership is that you have skills that complement each other.  

Until this shakeout is complete, I think we're going to see the traditional players utilizing crowdfunding as a side business to complement their traditional capital raise.   

After speaking with friends who invest in real estate as well as real estate agents and mortgage brokers who provided me with guidance during my first home purchase, I realized that REI was the way to go to generate an additional source of income that would complement my 9 to 5. 

Take your time, enjoy the 4 years which are undoubtedly the best years of your life and graduate with a meaningful degree that you can use as a complement to REI.

Awesome, you have the a very complement-able skill set to Real Estate.
