Currently i have $5,000 in investments ( i know its not much) and i want to continue to grow that.No one at my school (of about 2000 students) share the same passion as me except maybe a few exceptions.

Mainly interested in Wholesale first to get started but am interested in commercial, lease options, and when I grow up :shock: Land Development sounds really fun!

We grow from ideas even if the ideas are found in unrelated places.

Hence there is room to believe that you can grow your way out of the situation.I spent some time with a Chicago investor who has IRS liens and yet he was able to some some commercial deals.

However your risk grows by the number of units you have.

Now if you ask me, there's NOTHING that's unrelated to making my IRA grow, but, hey, they didn't let me write the rules.

Mother Nature says to us what fool is this that brings me his need and plants no seed?

I didn't see a BP link to a commercial lender to the left there (if there is, naturally support the forum - commercial brokers all draw from pretty much the same well), but I had a commercial guy send me info on this about 5 months ago and will look for it.

nothing you can do about their data bases, your ssn and your shredder play no part to this epidemic... yes it is the fastest growing crime in the world right now, but less than 25 percent of it is finanacial, and most identity theft protection will only cover financial, and by cover i mean monitor, when the identity is stolen, they will send you a kit that will literally take you hundreds of hours to restore your identity!

I'll prob work 50-60 hours/week at the JOB with a very stable firm and I expect I have some super solid upside options there.My parents had 2-3 rentals when I was growing up, I worked for a property manager before while in undergrad, ran a successful painting contracting business, am solid at negotiating and selling, have spent my share of time in rough neighborhoods, but I'm concerned I may be too much of a nice guy to ever get too good at evicting poor people.
