So you can buy there and spend it all on a down payment for one property OR you can buy outright or leverage that same amount of money to own many many properties in another part of the country, creating equity in those properties and making enough to easily pay that mortgage in SF AND having money left over as well.4) to give an analogy this sounds like - you are hungry and have one seed to plant at the moment.

Just mowing alone is not costly but the upkeep such as pruning, aeration, seeding, fertilizing can be.

You are planting seeds right now.

The combination of those books planted the seeds for me to begin investing and overall showed me there is a way out of the rat race or hamster wheel, if you will.

It may be just a seed now that hasnt broke the ground, but keep the energy and vibe going.

Of note the houses under the LLC is our seed money to start flipping (we’re in NYC).  

I have 300K to aggressively spend in any area of real estate that could finally get my foot in the business and help seed my retirement.

We are really wanting to start capitalizing on our location with vacation rentals but just need some seed money (btw,I’ve asked our local credit union and a few other conventional banks.

I'd love to finish the rehab (around $15K) and even if I didn't make any money, if I could break even it would save me $1000 a month which could be used as seed for another investment.I wanted to take a loan from my 401K (I got about 90K there) but I have a loan in  default for $26K already so they wont let me borrow, until I pay that loan back.

Seems like an insane risk, but my family, who is extremely wary of getting into debt (wouldn't even let me borrow 10 bucks for a Bionicle set if I didn't have the money) seeded this idea, along with some other very level-headed and experienced family friends.
