I've spent the last 3 months voraciously consuming all things real estate.

The industry is so ripe for discussion with all of its: negative stigma, tenants/toilets/trash, fee-drivenness, landlord friendly, investor driven, technologically evolving and legislatively active...environment.There's the historic landlord and agent PM legal agency relationship with a traditional scope of service, duties/responsibilities between LL&T, evolving retail/consumer trends/expectations, etc.

@Michael ForbesIf you are not aware yet, a Roth IRA can be invested in real estate and may be a good way to continue to grow your Roth IRA tax-free funds.The rules require Roth IRA assets to be distributed in the following order: regular contributions, conversions and retirement plan rollovers, and earnings (IRC Sec. 408A(d)(4) and Treas.

If you're worried about legal risk, don't start a grow operation.

@Nancy NevilleWhen we are little we say to others….”When I grow up I want to be a….”DoctorLawyerBankerPresidentEtc.Then when we grow up, we realize that in order to be all the above we need to have a plan.
