Others will disagree - that's what makes a horse race as they say!

I actually took a year off of competing and racing this year to focus on investing in Real Estate.  

Right now I'm considering the possibility of renting the land to cattle ranchers or anyone with horses or cattle.

She said I could get as many properties as I wanted as long as I was making money and had collateral which I do.Its always better to go get it from the horses mouth…Every state or bank is different. 

The premise is that you are in the rat race, just going around the board and accepting whatever life throws at you until you buy that first property or start that business.  

Up to then they were enforceable in California based on a California Supreme court decision and neighbors made sure they were enforced so agents would check the status when they took a listing and include it in the MLS information.I did have a black friend that wanted to buy in a mixed race area but that particular property had the restriction.

I am from Southern California.2 master degrees, 6-year CPA experience from one of the Big 4 accounting firms - guess what, I quit after I made manager last December because I just couldn't take the rat race anymore.I have been looking for different type of projects to pursue for over a year now.

I understand why the cost is there but when you're looking to get out of this rat race it sure looks good until you actually get involved.

possible advantages: are lower price point (rent), quiet, safe neighborhood, close to groceries, and local college, and option for horses/livestock on property (county not city);   risks:  vacancy for ???

It's a great way to get out of the "rat race".I might suggest downloading, The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing.
