Our school friends thought it was so cool.

With that amount of money you have an incredible opportunity to change countless lives by finding ways to give it away to causes/people that are important to you.At the end of the day you can do what you want with it because of the rule we all learned in grade school - "Finders, Keepers"Again, congrats on the huge score!

Hey mate,Sorry to hear about your troubles.I've been offering "true" turnkey properties for 10+ years now and have many scars to prove it.There has been and still is a huge stigma surrounding the industry and rightly so.The very best rated in the industry sometimes get blasted on the forum.Like with any business that has stood the test of time, we have had our fair share of successes and failures.We have done very well for many investors and could have performed better for others.Many times, we are to blame and other times it was the investors fault IMO.One thing I have always claimed is that we don't steal, cheat or lie and my team and myself work very hard and always make decisions with investors best interest at heart.Personally, I believe that folks that work hard and do their best shouldn't be crucified for an honest mistake when it happens.But, I guess others aren't as reasonable when it comes to such situations and I don't judge them for it.I take the punch on the chin and still continue doing my best.Over the years, I have made millions and lost millions but only blame myself when I loose.Not others.Also, I've always preached to start slow and only use cash which has cost my business 90% in sales volume.I just don't believe that investors should use leverage when first starting to build their portfolio.Reverse engineer and base all real estate, business and even life decisions from a risk analysis worst case scenario standpoint.If you believe that you can absorb a worst case scenario outcome, then pursue the opportunity.Build a strong foundation with cash owned properties and gain experience first."

This is how I analyze risks and make risk-adjusted return decisions:Identify the Risk: Vacant units could be a sign of high vacancy rates. 

Highly recommend, a must for new investors looking to develop systems and invest long distance.Today’s Interest Rate: 7.28%(☝️ .21%, from this time last week, 30-yr mortgage)Mortgage rates are up significantly this week, following a move in the spread between 10-yr Treasury and 30-yr mortgage rates.

If you flip a house with in a year and incur a tax rate, “ordinary income”then does all of your other income from your rentals “long term income”get taxed at the same rate as ordinary income?

I am looking to get into Real estate investing/Wholesaling but I am still building my network and knowledge while playing soccer to make it Pro and going to school.

I feel the time is good since theirs fear and people are hesitant because of rates not dropping, thus giving me a opportunity to make this move. 

These days with rates being higher though, it might be better just continuing with blanket financing with 5-10 year balloons and interest only / 30 year amortization.
