There are many people who instead of investing in Real Estate will invest in Small Businesses in their local community and actively participate in growing that business part time like many of us do with Real Estate.

I'm not sure if this is my niche or not quite yet, but I certainly have an interest in it and will continue to grow my investments where there is opportunity.

Bill GulleyThanks Bill :) I wished I would have done this sooner but the beauty part of life is growing.

This, and ACRE are great places to learn and grow.

You probably already know that Midtown is a growing area in the city.

J Scott My CPA touched on the dealer status issue as well, describing how to set up multiple entities in order to treat flips as capital gains, rather than ordinary income.

And I can't wait for all the opportunities to learn, grow and adjust my strategies to maximize my returns.But, so far, at least I can say my analysis of the property and the rent it could fetch was 100% accurate.

Definitely jump into this community and start learning and growing.

It's an investment I understand, that's real, and that produces cash flow while it grows.

sure they can, but why if it's cheap money just to pay low APR and use the money elsewhere. you grow faster when you pay a portion over time instead of the whole amount upfront. kind of like leasing a car. a buy is 550, but a lease is 325. you get to use the 225 that you have left over for anything else you want.i am sure i am not explaining it the correct way, but hopefully someone can chime in.
