I originally posted on reddit saying I had 20k cash to my name but very very low expenses and a high risk tolerance.

After reading Kiyosaki and a ton of others I feel a hybrid and a mix would be most beneficial on a monthly basis for what I'm looking for.

Corelogic also,,,  so these data sources that are sub $99/mo are cheap in reality.An adage that is lifted from contractors;   you are better off with marginal materials and a top notch crew then best materials and marginal crew... 

Or is it necessary to walk through with a structural and MEP engineer and a contractor before putting numbers together?
