I am working full time in the chemical industry with main focus on customer service and IT.

Kirk, I am not sure about the statistics, but pretty much everything I have read states that the main roads to wealth are business or real estate and being a real estate investor is a business too.

Hey Kirk I actually was considering the classes mainly for the education, terms, understanding contracts, legality etc....

As you can see dealing with tenants can be a pain if the right structure isn't in place especially when you start scaling.Options open for real estate investing will mainly depend on capital to start and expectations of annual return versus what kind of headache you are looking at dealing with.

;)I certainly understand the push for education, which is my main focus at this time.

If I generalized it, (which was not the intent), I would've included myself, no?

My ideal scenario would be that we find a 2 or more acre lot, hubby the 2 kids and I are in the "main" houses and there is a cottage house or some sort of agreeable sized outbuilding where my parents are -- hence, they are close enough where we can help them out but both families have their own space.This more than likely would have to be new construction as I don't know if these types of properties are available around here (at least listed on the MLS).And of course space costs money in real estate.Any suggestions (other than don't do it, ha ha!)

TO wholesale you need 1) the money to find the deal - this can mainly be your hard work with little cost.

Contrary to popular belief, being labeled a "dealer" doesn't mean that all your properties are subject to ordinary income; likewise, not being labeled a dealer doesn't mean that all of your properties are subject to capital gains.Each property will need to stand on its own merits, and the determination of whether a particular property should be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains will be made based on the intent of the transaction, not a "dealer" label applied to a business or individual.That said, if you are labeled a "dealer," you may find that you have a higher bar set for declaring one of your properties to be an investment as opposed to inventory.
