I am a teacher by trade, but I am looking to get into real estate since I've been interested in it for years.

I have my real estate license and am also an occupational therapist by trade- but truly I don't want to be in healthcare OR to help others to buy/sell- just want to get more properties under my own belt!

If you wanted to do a 1031 exchange down the road to use that equity and trade up then that'd be a good idea.The homes I’m looking at buying are in the 330,000-350,000 range.

@Steve Babiak, unless he registered with Pennsylvania as a contractor, he would not show up on there, the company as the OP stated is from NJ where he would be registered. he should be registered in PA if he is doing work there, so i agree, he should have shown up on those sites, i am a contractor in NJ but do not do work in PA, not even my own properties, so i do not show up on those sites.

The only thing we can think of is he deals with a lot of international trade and money and maybe it’s OFAC we just get a scripted message every time we talk to someone so we got lawyers involved. 

The average company only survives for ten years, while even large companies typically last just 18 years.

My top priority is having maximum flexibility with what I can invest in within my HSA, second priority is ease of use and convenience of the investing platform, third is minimizing any account, trading, or management fees charged by the HSA provider. 

I did go look at it, knew it was accessible by dirt road, and did a lot of research into who owned the easement.Won the auction, paid a tax title company to get clear title (right of redemption is 3 years). 

Are you aware that over 80% of Wall Street / Stock market companies DONT last that long?     

I am newly married and have a hefty mortgage myself, but I manage to save a decent amount of money realistically 10-15k a year I have been working as a construction worker as long as I have been working I am a mason by trade and even though moneys tight I know I will be a successful investor even in the current market.
