I've yet to venture out into other parts of Georgia. 

I’m venturing into real estate development starting out with small plots say 5-6000 sqft. to build 2-3 townhomes.

As a civil engineer with a concentration in transportation, I am trying to understand how others have used their Professional Engineers License to benefit their personal real estate ventures. 

I helped complete with those however I am venturing out on my own and any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

That's one of the reasons why I prefer joint ventures.

Any ideas for capitol on my first venture?

That doesn't get you that passive income, but in terms of building long-term wealth, appreciation is a big, if not the biggest, driver.Anyway, good luck with your ventures.

I am looking to venture out into buying my first duplex and wondering if Kansas City is the right market for duplexes.

The $785 they get from SSI is not to going to come close to making this a profitable venture. 

My last venture with my friends didn't work out because life had other plans for us all.
