You've already got substantial income and the next step is creating the vehicle to protect that income and over time increase it organically - a self driving car if you will.  

What is your financing vehicle?

Business Ownership and Real Estate are the two biggest vehicles towards building an empire.

The chemicals were $400, and I essentially dug a 12 inch ditch all the way around the perimeter and dumped them in.

One loaned $3K with the title of their vehicle to be held as a collateral.

The bigger the company the higher their overhead, the more money they spend on advertising and marketing plus workman's comp, insurance, and manytime even the vehicles and tools.

Try Chemical Bank @Ellen Morrison.

I have student loan debt in the 20k area, and drive paid off vehicles that require a lot of upkeep to keep running me 120-150 miles round trip to work.

Roofs, vehicles, furnace, etc are each depreciated on their own schedule as defined by the IRS.

For the time being I will be able to easily cover that cost.I have no intention of getting into a new property anytime soon and any other investment vehicle, stock market, will probably not yield over 4% since it seems we are hitting a tipping point.
