That’s why I prefer Google—it's much more stable since it targets actual intent through the keywords people are searching for.

If you are signing up for courses with big flashy words like: RETIRE WITH SECTION 8, HOW TO EARN PASSIVE INCOME OUT OF STATE, GET YOUR FIRST 10 RENTALS IN 1 MONTH -- PLEASE PLEASE do not give these people your time or your moneyThere are plenty of great books out there that will give you solid advice on how to invest, where to invest, and what to invest in for under a $100 bucks!

I have been trying to build a retirement portfolio too while working full time in the corporate world. 

The September 2024 report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows housing prices in Austin and the greater metro remained fairly stable over the past 12 months.

I have an 800+ credit score and access to over $100k in revolving credit and much more than that in personal loan offers, but currently have less than $10k in cash reserves, which I plan to build back up to $20k in two months.My mom, in her mid-50s, wants to invest in real estate as a means to improve her retirement.

While I was gone she ended up reading Set for Life and Retire Early with Real Estate on her own.

This is not an absolute truth by any means, but a way to filter and have a better shot of those looking to sell/retire.   

However, prices were stable or dropping at the time.When prices double in four years and rates triple in two years, it has a significant impact on what people can afford.

We have been putting most of our extra money into retirement accounts before this.

Especially in tax advantaged retirement accounts.
