This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.

Maybe also consider if they are "good people" that work in the community and just want a safe place to raise their family. 

Not going to get into a discussion about people being able to do what they want in their house but in PA, recreational use is still illegal. 

Wondering if it will be a waste in fees paid to either HELOC or Cashout Refi because there may be a possibility of having to sell to get the primary residence we want next year and end up paying Realtor fees to sell it. 

See what qualifications people are looking for and do what you have to in the meantime to produce income while you're studying. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

So, why would they waste their time getting multiple bids when they already know the answer?

I wasted too much time trying to piece it all together and when you're in different states it's all the more challenging to make sure everything is legit.

Total waste of my time and his.  

Beware of people with “something to sell” stating how great their product is.
