With in 5-7 years I would like to be able to financially stable, that is to say that at this point I can cover all living expenses as well as be able to be able to purchase a car, or new appliances, or cover medical bills, all without having to worry about if I'll enough money to eat that week. 

If you guys could give me your opinions as well as maybe share where you were financially on your first flip and how you went about your first flip (success stories).

More importantly, a GOOD realtor who takes your criteria, financial situation, short-term & long-term goals into consideration is going to be a huge asset to your REI career. 

I set up my Solo 401K trust (Which is NOT subject to UBIT) through @Dmitriy Fomichenko at Sense Financial and he's very knowledgeable this subject. 

The Security Deposit may be charged for screen repairs during the term of the lease or upon move out inspection.The tenant will have 30 or 60 days depending on RI law to accept the amendment with no tenant action or give you notice of moving out. 

I have been working in the financial services industry for almost 10 years now and thus had quite some exposure to other areas of investing (from private markets to public markets).

I have read books and videos on what to do and what actions to take.

Buyers and sellers in commercial need you, as their broker/agent, to help them make financially intelligent sales and purchases and to really make your mark you need to be very well connected.

Worst case scenario it is your own asset, not marital property, and can help you out financially if you need it.

I am thinking about starting with wholesaling so I can fully learn the ins and outs when it comes to real estate investing with minimal financial risk.
