I'm focusing on purchasing lots  as well as homes for flipping in Clinton , Ridgeland , Madison and Jackson.Any referrals of hard money lenders with great terms would be greatly appreciated. 

Should real estate be my focus for building long-term wealth?

Since it takes so much to take the papers and start running my apartments I consider now starting a business where I can deduct all my expenses like the homes fixing at the beginning and the future properties that I consider buying but by doing this plus the short-term renting that I consider with tourists/visitors I feel more risk exposed since I will have to pay for a business loan with 6% interest, and an accountant to keep my business papers which will need another 120€ Monthly(that's for a Private Company which is considered to give a legal protections since me as an Individual is not exposed similar to protection that an LLC provides at the USA.)What is the community's opinion about what will be better for me? 

He focuses on sales training.

I am not one for social media, however, connecting with a local investor last night gave me the final push I needed to use his words "Dive into BiggerPockets and lurk in the forums" so that is exactly what I'm going to do.My name is Christopher Smith, and I'm an aspiring real estate investor in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, focusing on purchasing my first residential multifamily to house hack.

A lot of my clients focus in on Berwyn and Forest Park, although the inventory is very low right now.

@Nichole LandowRather than looking at the equation like your losing something, focus on the positive.

I have been in the real estate business since 2003 with licenses in Michigan and Florida but have only recently gotten involved with a new business plan of real estate investing with a focus on rentals.

My main focus starting out is wholesaling.

@Mark Doty I don't know if I have a definitive answer to your question, but if I were in your shoes I would start this journey by focusing on the lender relationship.
