I'd love to talk with anybody about reputable companies in other parts of the country if they're interested.Thanks again!

Appreciation rates of 2-4% depending on the area and steady increase in employment with some good economic development in place.

Don't be afraid of a reputation that's 25 years out of date.If you're looking to get plugged in to the community, I can think of no better way than my gym, Tacoma Strength.

This property is a stone throw from 10's of millions of dollars in new development.

So my point is that I think I can really get clear about the "reputation" of a builder and a neighborhood in a most likely stronger way than if I were just searching online and such.

If I ever decide to ramp back up the volume then private money is a no brainer.Crowd funding will be an interesting space to watch develop over the next few years.

Some just provide financing for deals, others invest in homes, apartments, development, commercial, etc.Another option for you that is fairly passive is tax lien investing.

I have just closed on and have started another syndication in a resort development on the Island of Ambergris Caye in Belize.

Make sure the cash flow is secure with high quality tenants.Eliminate all personal debts.Secure your personal income streams (work / education / skill development) for yourself and your family.Leave yourself a cash emergency fund that can cover a year's worth of all personal and real estate expenses.These first few properties should be completely paid off.

Also I'm with an investor friendly company that has on going professional development for investors.
