Before jumping into products or targets,I would suggest setting up a solid base.For me that means:- LLC/inc. in tax favorable state- 800 FICO / 80 PAYDEX- $100K in untapped personal credit- $100K to a million in EIN/LLC/DUNS untapped creditONLY THEN look around, research the market,and jump when your brain/gut/heart align.Today Zillow dropped 20%, California/NYC offers are down 25%,Australia/China/Canada are down 20-40% depending on the data...Save your hard earned $50K for the right moment with a strong base!
