I returned home with zero work experience, no trade experience About 3,000$ to my name but a determined mindset.I’m 6’8” and I started delivering furniture and stock shelves at target to get an income.

That is the opposite of how debt strategy works, using debt allows you take more risk in trade for going much faster. you need to do the math more in depth. the snowball with using leverage is much faster to acquire properties, once you're done with acquisition you can start paying things down. this is evident when doing a simple ROI calculator for cash vs leveraged properties. you'll make a higher return on leverage, and assuming you use the assets efficiently, that allows you to buy more, faster. waiting for cash to add up goes very, very slow.

In my (limited) experience you're usually trading cash-on-cash return for some degree of either risk or effort.

Often, though not always A class areas with good schools do not trade at large discounts since xemand remains high in those areas regardless of condition. 

If you do well, they'll take you under their wing and teach you the trade.

I have the standard lease agreement, and wanted to know what other college rental investors include in the lease agreement to protect themselves and the property.For example, noise complaints/police disturbances.... what is the consequences..etc., Under age drinking (does the landlord have liability for that?)

But I've merged the two approaches now to think "how can I afford that without going into debt to get it" (even if the debt is considered "good debt").The problem with "good debt" (borrowing money at a low rate of interest and investing it at a high rate of return, also known as the "carry trade" or "leveraged investing") is that when the world goes through an economic calamity, the high rate of return comes to a halt, but the low rate of interest on the borrowed money continues to be owed (based in my experience with a HELOC used to finance various purchases of income-producing assets over the years).Also, if the asset used to secure the borrowed money goes into free fall, the lender sometimes has the right to reset the loan (in the stock market, this is known as a "margin call").

Three sectors — retail, business services and government — are hurting overall job growth.Businesses are spending more on equipment (automation), and that was one of his highlights of yesterday’s third-quarter GDP revisions up to 3.3 percent growth.Regardless of politics and feelings about tone and Twitter storms from President Donald Trump, the U.S. economy is performing well – at least for investors, businesses and the wealthy.Trump’s rhetoric on trade — including China and the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada — hasn’t resulted in all-out trade wars.Geopolitical turmoil, including North Korea’s missile tests, could be the biggest threat to a continuation of the current positive economic climate.

So you’re effectively asking to trade off short-term marginal revenue increases for long-term value loss.

Currently, most of my investments are in U.S. and international equities or speculative options trading.
