@Kyle GrimmI am a software engineer and partner of a small technology firm based in New York.

With technology advances even in the last 10 years, being a landlord (if  you utilize basic modern technology ) is even easier.  

Technology is invading every business and industry.

Ron Hubbard developed an enormous body of technology to ensure the success of any group.

💭 By making your money 💵work for you in things like:🏠Real Estate🏠, 📉Stocks📈, 🐂Cattle🐂, 📱Technology💻,💰Entrepreneurship💰 AND THE LIST GOES ON!!!!

The monetary cost of doing so isn't actually that much, but it is taking many hours to get my license, and develop and learn from a mentor.I'm in central Indiana and found a good brokerage who can get me working with education and resources within a month after getting my license.After this since I will be in college for business (which I wish I didn't have to, but I have a full-ride I don't want to pass up on), so since I will be pretty busy I'll be looking to list houses more since technology let's me do much of that process easier than driving people to houses etc.

Lots of good analytical feedback from others so I’ll just share some perspectives.I’ve been the field of Information Technology for almost 20 years and my focus has been in computer networking for the last 15.

Returns are good now, but what about in 10-20 years when these technologies truly start maturing and revolutionizing the labor force?

The last thing you want is to be in a position where you have outlayed a lot of cash for furniture, decor, and technology only to find out that you are in the hole every month.
