- trying to make sure that deals are able to actually double my money over 5 years, I know it highly depends on the leadership/syndication team and population growth of the city, but if things slow down, how do I make sure I have a cash flowing, longer term hold property that is has a larger group of people wanting to purchase it later on when it is time to sell the property)Meaning, do you only invest in: Class a,b,or c properties?

Two weeks ago this same neighbor pulled up a ladder to the fence line at 8:30pm for 4 days in a row, leaned over the fence to first remove the branches from three trees on his side of the fence, and then completely cut off the top of three trees, leaving me with what looks like totem poles. 

My goal is to stand out as the one with leadership DNA, applying my knowledge of Real Estate Investing.

You still need to do your own due diligence, but other investors can provide you with helpful leads and introductions.You can also meet sponsors through various thought leadership platforms you find them on, but that primarily serves as an initial introduction and due diligence is still needed.

Folks who say that they won't for fear of economic turmoil in my opinion seriously misunderstand the Fed's role, purpose, and leadership.- This is not a good time to be speculative or to think "buy low, sell high", because interest rates rising will drive down asset prices on any business, real estate, or speculative asset that you can borrow against. - It's a fine time to buy assets that are likely to see cash flow increase with inflation, so long as you can live with the market prices of those assets falling in the short-term or medium term. - The US is still the best economy in the world, the dollar still the best currency.

I think it depends on how much help/leadership/mentorship/training you want.Would love to help you think through it sometime.

It's designed to be a win-win...the service member gets the opportunity to build their skills & resume for their transition to the civilian sector, and the company gets a 6-month 'working interview' with a potential employee who brings valuable work ethic and leadership to the table.There are quite a few real estate companies that are already vetted SkillBridge partners...if you were able to do an internship with one of those companies it would provide you some valuable experience and training, while still having the 'safety net' of being on active duty until your date of separation.The site with some additional info about the SkillBridge program and the list of approved companies is at:  DOD SkillBridge - Authorized SkillBridge Organizations (osd.mil)
