I have a full time employee at my nutrition store so thats not going to be an issue. oh yah btw my goals are to be finacially free so i can spend time with my amazing wife and raise a Godly family who serves the Lord. i want to be able to have the freedom to travel and hopefully one day start my own church....heres the deal...my soon to be brother in law thinks much like i do and is already starting to get his feet wet in this business. he is 24 as well. he made me an offer that if i came on board with him he would teach me the business and introduce me to his investors, ect. he said i could go find properties that i wanted to purchase and use the investors money and that we could rent the houses out and i would make 1/3 of the rent we profited each month plus 1/3 of the profit once we sell the home. i basically have no risk and need to cash of my own. sounds like a good to me and i can gain some awesome experience for bigger ventures down the road. i wanted to get any advice or input from you guys on to what you guys would do if you were in my shoes. i am very teachable and would love for someone to mentor me on here. thanks ahead of time-jeremy
