There is a lot of opportunities not in the grey area so we suggest pursuing them. 

I really started to pursue this dream more in May of this year.

I am currently living in Germany and pursuing my master´s degree in engineering.A couple of months ago I have decided to get into real estates and have been educating myself in this area.I have set a timeline for starting my first project, by the summer of 2019, in which I want to execute in the city of Würzburg in Germany.However I am lacking the connections and mentoring needed in this area and was wondering if anyone could give me an advice.Thank you!!

So I found this deal where the price was $110K obo & I contacted an agency that said that they would coach me, fund the entire project, and then split the profits.

If it is not a profit center for you that has no risks it is not something you want to be involved with.No way you want to be dragged in any child porn charges etc.

Keys was also very seasonal while south Florida is a hub for events, conferences, concerts besides the typical beach/partying which means there's always an influx of travelers whether for corporate/family or spontaneous getaway.If you find something in the Keys you will make money regardless - I just found this area more profitable.

Today the seller contacted me Asking if I would be interested in possibly partnering with her and splitting the profit ,she's even willing to possibly contribute bring money to the table to work out the deal.

Self management can also be highly profitable (more than just the 10% fee) and allow a great deal of control when selecting your tenants. 

This year I have finally forced myself to pursue my dream of becoming an entrepreneur by getting into the real estate world.

In a few years after you know what you are doing, then worry about how to maximize profits.
