I plan to start with 1 or 2 acres of storage and add to it from there, while developing a plan for the back 15 acres that involves some long term alternative investing involving Ginseng production, and morel mushrooms.

Property crowdfunding appeared in the past 5 years as an alternative real estate investment opportunity.

They all wanted to see some alternative income in case things went south.Sorry I don't have any names but you can look here.

I'm 33 years old now live in Joliet with my loving girlfriend/ future wife, I drive a semi-truck (doubles) for FedEx Freight.

Mostly what I bring to the table is a little bit of money (100k-ish) and a dump truck of hunger and work ethic.

I am currently a truck driver with background experience in construction.

I appreciate your input and how you presented thoughtful points, as well as, alternative options to consider.

I’m looking for alternatives as we’ll go from renting out 1 unit to 2 units here shortly once we move out of our duplex.

@Derek Robinson you may consider investing in stock market (index fund), mutual fund to have truly passive investing (even that I think you still need to keep an eye on it).Alternatively, we have investors who are truly passive when they invest into syndication with us - this maybe also something for you to take a look into.

Easy job for someone who has done it before and has pipe threading tools on their truck.
