I wish now that I had gone a little slower and had gone to some of the classes in person; despite the generally good online content, after about the 60th hour in front of the computer my eyes began to glaze over and my brain must have looked like those old "this is your brain on drugs" commercials.  

What if you needed that money for an unforeseen medical bill or other big ticket expense? 

. = Tells us where to invest2 - How Money Works = Tells us How to Invest3 - Developing a REI Business/REI Plan = Tells us When to Invest (and in What)Some examples of the "themes" would be (with sub-topics):1 - Wholesaling (how to wholesale foreclosures, building lists, etc...)2 - Lease Options (Sandwiches, contracts, etc...)3 - Strategies (entrance/exit, Land Contracts, Notes, etc...)4 - Commercial (NNN, Medical Housing, Student Housing, etc...)5 - Treating REI as a Business (partnerships, Power teams, out of state investing, etc...)...just to name a few.It took a while to develop where we are right now, and will take years to get where we may be years from now....since we are always adding/subtracting, and inventing new systems based on changing money, markets, etc...REI is just an example of problem solving, with dollar signs.Our tagline is "Knowledge Taking Action"...so every event has a section of it devoted to "action plans" based on the theme/topics.

Talked to CPA briefly some options.... 1) Set up S corp if have not already2) Buy leveraged class A low cashflow property for the tax write offs 3) Tax deductable retirement accounts/medical fund (but doesn't make sense for people like us who can see higher returns in real estate)4) Increasing marketing before end of year5) Rolling over/delaying any commisions/profits into next year to stay away from losing QBI thresholds. 

The plus side was when I cashed out in 2007 due to medical reasons I secured our future. 

I’m a Medical Doctor.

@Casey MaedaLook at medical and affordable housing.

To their credit, she was an undergrad here and returned after medical school, so she seems to like the area, but... 

A BRRR is a great way to start your portfolio with minimal risk and slower returns via cash flow vs.

@Joel Owenswe are in a 1031 and looking at buying several single tenant NNN industrial and medical buildings with lease tears remaining of 4-7 years.
