I learned a valuable lesson when I was a kid.

Instead of discussing the possibility of owner finance with sellers - what if I offered the opportunity to  JV where they are the equity partner?   

Given the location and how the town has been developing it seems like a good investment opportunity for rentals.

1.4 million people need a better tax planner... talk about a business opportunity!

Turnkey or close to turnkey would be nice, but willing to consider a fixer upper for the right opportunity. 

I say this because every investment is an opportunity cost, and if you're going to take money out of stocks (whether in a brokerage account or 401k) that could be earning 8-10%, you should have confidence that your acquisitions are going to perform better to account for the additional risk. 

Also the opportunity cost of not deploying your capital in an investment vehicle yielding more than 7% is high. 

You will not only achieve a status upgrade in the market of RE investing, you are given the opportunity to have the knowledge to back it up.

The good news is that real estate offers countless opportunities, even in higher-cost areas, to build wealth and achieve your goals.

There are multiple strategies to take advantage of opportunities during an expansion.
