But, I know this all takes a lot of time and I want to make sure that I really understand the market and everything investing encompasses.I am trying to learn all that I can through books, podcasts, youtube videos, my own searchers, talking to people in the industry and attending seminars, but I am still new to this world.What thoughts do you guys have?

Hey Roger,  I like the enthusiasm however I work in the foundation industry and it is rarely a cheap fix.    

I'd recommend working with others who are already in the industry.

That’s awesome you have such a long career in the construction industry.

Hello @Cameron Amateis,Although I am not from Detroit, I can tell you that two most common complaints in this industry are 1) my manager is non-responsive, and 2) my manager is doing work that they are not authorized to do.

If you are interested in a specific industry you can hire a marketing firm to do some direct marketing to those folks.

I am mostly interested in learning about out of state BRRRR investing and about finance careers in the real estate industry.

I know for certain that Real Estate is where I want to be and I thought about getting my Agent's License as a way to make some money, learn more about the industry and get direct access to the MLS for finding deals.

My thoughts are for your situation: - there must be other people in the movie industry who are making good cash that could partner with you if you spend the time to learn how to analyze and find good deals- When you do get busy, save as much as you can to put towards an investment purchase yourself- house hacking if done right, could significantly bring down your home costs, which would allow you start while living for cheaper/free and pursuing your filmmaking dreams!

California also has special fees that apply to out of state LLC's, and I don't understand whether the tax treatment of these entities are different.Would appreciate any advice, as well as a reference for a lawyer to advise and help create protections offered by different entities (Series LLC vs Delaware Statutory Trust for example) and a CPA to help advise on the costs/benefits of using those same types of entities.
