I called my Grandparents before I left to say my goodbyes and I told them about these books and I remember telling them, "Why work for your money, when I can make my money work for me?" 

I also have a 9 year background in construction in various aspects; estimating, project management, project controls, etc.I am here to learn, grow, and help.

I remember it was last January of 2018.

heylooking to purchase a long term buy and hold rental property, budget is 70-80k cash only (oos investor), was approached by a company who assists in the whole process who recommended the indianapolis market as a growing market, with high yields compared to other places. leaving aside the question should i use this company (or any other for that matter), i am looking into the market, the buy/rent ratio looks good in terms of what i'm looking for and i can see the prices have really gone up in recent years, but when checking out the house prices going forward, it seems like most of the information i find talks about prices staying around where they are, some sources even show negative price changes. what are your takes on the matter?

Growing up in CT I found the state to be rather boring so when college came around I left the state and went to school in Baltimore, MD at Loyola University.
