I consider myself reasonably educated, but could not for the life of me find that. 

I’ve just finished reading Set for Life and it made my interest in real estate just get bigger!

@Samuel S.I've lived in the downriver area for most of my life. 

If it were up to me I would not buy the new house, but I am married and you know the saying, "Happy wife, happy life!"

Tried it very seriously a few years ago - given all the scamming that goes on in all aspects of life these days, it's massively difficult to get people to believe you're legit and to work with you.

To financially stabilIze myself, I'm living with my grandmother for the next year or so (until my 21st birthday) which is great for both because she needs help with the house work for health reasons, and I need to save money for something I think has potential, but want some advice on.Down the road from my grandmother, there's a decent looking trailer on a decent lot of land, roughly 1.25+- acres in a very good area, about 4 miles from town, 2 miles from 2 different schools, 6 miles from the state Parkway.

You don't know your health in 10 years. 

Funny how life works.

At this phase of my life, moving the money into a DST that makes 6.5% cash flow per year, or in excess of $3500/month with no HOA or taxes to pay makes more sense for me right now.
