Currently a business owner not in the real estate industry, I am looking to broaden my horizons and sink my teeth into the wonderful world of investing!

Because you rented out you no longer get the $250K capital gains exclusion for primary residence but you get the 1031 tax deferral.  

It's a whole lot slower moving than LA, and industry is more concentrated.Just make sure you're buying in a decent area, and if you leave yourself some room for rents and valuations to go down you should be fine.

I greatly admire those individuals for having the courage to give up their mortgage careers and start from scratch as realtors when the mortgage industry got stupid.It is now illegal to do give out bonuses and whatnot for putting people in crummy loans. 

I work in the industry and I'm hearing 60 a barrel by 2017 and I hear 10 a barrel by 2017.

I'm very new to this industry and as I learn, grow, and become successful, it all goes back to the creative real estate investing platform.I am relentless, focused, and motivated to be in a position to learn all there is to learn. 

He has an "Airbnb for Landlords" course also that will give you the ropes, and he throws in some coaching I believe, if you're nice ;)  It's a great industry :)

The only industries that make money selling to people who rarely get the benefit are the diet and fitness gyms. 

Even some who do it exclusively.

I think we must understand this is not your grandfathers tech industry anymore.
