The 1/5th version of the gold and silver I may begin to purchase but at the current price of 32 per ounce I think a silver 1 ounce coin splits up your investment to a small enough denomination that if it was even used for something like money you could just trade a coin for what ever your buying.

Unfortunatly my ex-tenant has made that decision for me...So...

In my area, certain trades require their own licensing.

Pay off the most expensive student loans (but probably not all of them) and use the cash available to buy another rental at a steep discount since you don't need a mortgage. 6 months later when rented with a good tenant lever it up and do it again.Again, in your youth you should be trying to trade high priced debt for cheaper debt.

If you can find a local investor that you can trade your skills/time/value for his knowledge, you'll learn more than you ever could by going to school or reading books.Secondly: BiggerPockets is the absolute best resource online.

Justin, generally rental income is not considered income from a "trade or business."
