Tech entrepreneurs and high-profile professionals are transforming the state into a new haven for luxury living.Austin: Known as the "Silicon Valley of Texas," Austin has seen an impressive increase in demand for luxury properties, largely driven by the arrival of tech giants like Tesla and Oracle.

Hello BP Community,My name is Patrick Belanger, and my wife and I (both engineers turned entrepreneurs) havebeen investing in Edmonton and the surrounding communities since 2013, buildinga 32 unit local portfolio of single family homes, duplexes, garage suites, andsmall new-build multifamily (6 and 8 unit properties).

Everyone in the group were either business owners or serial entrepreneurs or had millions of dollars real estate.  

Also combo that with programs to create more entrepreneurs so they can take their skills and exponentially use them. 

There are a lot of other nuance, but thats the gist.I would recommend you find an agent that works with investors and can help you through these issues.In terms of meetups, my brokerage (Wayfinder Homes) hosts one every month in WS - Triad Real Estate Entrepreneurs Meetup.

I have flipped a few houses during covid and remote working times and was fortunate enough to grow up in a family of real estate investors and entrepreneurs which has provided me mentors and exposure to starting and operating a business.I am thinking of starting my own construction/development company in a few years time and wanted to hear some opinions from people who have done it who are outside of my circle.

I also found that fellow community members are so giving that they will support you to make sure that you're not failing and also more than willing to share their experience or knowledge when you posted questions.The community members are also encouraged to think like an entrepreneur and resulted in many ideas to support other members who just started.

I find so many incredible business owners and entrepreneurs out there are really good at making money, contributing to their community, creating jobs, etc., but then don't have time or brain power left to focus on taxes.

The answer is go buy disability insurance, as an entrepreneur this a given. 3) No 1099 income.
