Because I hopped a plane just a couple days after high school graduation, I basically have no idea how to do adult life in the USA... so clearly the thing to do in this situation is get involved in real estate investing, ha!

An attorney I personally know was involved in a real estate transaction and he just went too far, he  was in his 50's and he'll be in federal prison for the rest of his life, in fact I heard rumor that he didn't survive.We have two other national profile attorneys giving classes on "systems" mostly very good, but neither one are totally correct in the financial arena. 

I've been in the DFW area for most of my life, and I've been to a few DFW real estate meet-ups, you should check some out they are a great place to network and learn.

Account ClosedI am close to your situation in life other than the student loans.

My name is Peter Gonzalez and I recently made some life changes and I will soon be in Lakeland Florida.

As long as the powers that be concentrate on the big guys and I concentrate on covering my butt my life is easy.

We are looking for retirement income and having the ability to slow down and enjoy life for a while.

If you spend your life trying to operate a company at 500ft, when you should be at 30,000ft, you will always get bogged down in the operations and not the growth of the business.

That makes life so much easier!

I've been surrounded by the construction industry my entire life and, by extension, the commercial real estate industry.
