I am new to learning about real estate with the goal to develop a portfolio of buy and hold properties long term along with being open to doing a couple flips a year.

I am an Atlanta area (Gwinnett County) family-man and college teacher who wishes to take more control of my financial independence so that I can spend more time and money on developing my ministry.

I started with some money to invest, gained some knowledge and have developed management and investing savvy (skills) along the way.

The defendants — Woodbridge, 281 related companies and Shapiro — did not admit or deny the allegations.Woodbridge, according to the SEC, told investors it would use their money to make so-called hard money loans — a type of expensive, short-term loan that’s secured by property and is often used by house flippers and other property developers.

The most common method of making connections is simply reaching out and asking for connections.The most successful investors are also the most efficient, and not only nail the follow up, but also take the time to really get to know and understand the ideal candidates for their next investing opportunity.Not all of us with the will and way have the means to develop a business idea to full potential.

We like to get some guest feedback from each house, and use that information to determine a theme, and inform the design process as we further develop the space.

My husband owns his owns business and I have an interest in investing (beginner); I would love to invest in a retail or mixed-use development property or maybe event start-ups, but it seems complicated and I would like to do it without getting a huge loan (for commercial).

. $50k investment, will be listed for over $300k with similar unrenovated property two doors away under contract for $350k as a comp and other recent sales in development at or over $300k.

It forced me to separate myself from working in the business but instead work on the business, development systems, leverage, teams, network etc.. this made me building and process slowly to have my systems, leverage and team in place and do all necessary details work prior to buying a distressed property.

Just curios are there any circumstances that would have led to the crack?
