I play the market all the time but I am young and far from wealthy so I'm a gambler and stick to options and go in and out very fast i have gone in and out of higher and lower tax brackets over night.... the market could crash this year and many say we are in for an earnings recession and in my view it could be any day bc if you just google S&P500 and look at the chart in max view you will see from as far back as it will show up up up up down down up up up up down down up up up up etc...... we are due for a major correction soon although i think markets will rally some more this year and this coming earnings will generally be poor but not as poor as predicted so the market will be looking good and the FED will raise rates at the end of the summer than yea after the holidays things will be super slow higher rates higher costs and with the oil prices and political movements more volatile than shares of tesla maybe yea a big crash and some people will lose it all while some people will be buying it all waiting for the next upswing its the cycle of life...Craziest thing i ever read about the stock market was that SEC halted trading on a bunch of medical marijuana stocks that were trading on the OTC market and i said WAIT WTF theres public pot corps lol i mean who would buy a medical marijuana stock... forget cooking the books what happens when the DEA burns the books so how does that work.... so aslong as there are people dumb enough to invest publicly in a company that is operating in a risky federally illegal business than yea the stock market can crash any day of the week for just about any reason...

Is this a horrible investment idea and I just need to be rich enough to live in multiple places and travel wherever I want? 

I am still relatively new to Boston (NY before) and because of this, I dont feel my knowledge on the surrounding areas are as informed as I would like.Alex - I am located in Fenway but I'd be willing to travel any where in the surrounding area.Paul - thank you for the insight, this gives me ample information to begin.Grazie everyone!

With a low ball offers no one will take you serious, and the news will travel in a hurry you are just wasting everyone's time.

The dividends have been immeasurable, truly.I currently have a full-time job a medical sales.

I likened real estate similar to an electric trolley hanging and traveling across predetermined destination, that is hanging over a medium, which is an electrical cable.

My long-term goal is to acquire options-whether it be the option to stop working full time, travel, splurge, family vacations, you name it.

I'm about to relocate physically to Los Angeles for job and girlfriend-future wife, whom is interested in investing as well but isn't enamored with Syracuse because she doesn't want to travel back and forth (some of this is under-education on her part about investing, but I'm working on that, lol).

This video about the Memphis Medical District goes into great depth about the opportunity for quality housing providers in the medical district area (especially for multifamily investors).  

I live frugally and have travelled all over the country doing seasonal marine bio gigs, eventually leading me from Charleston, SC to the Dominican Republic to now, Alaska.
