Currently on 2 acres is a 1,600 sq/ft house with a big shop (75x30ft) double bay/steel walls and roof, an additional small building 10x18 which was renovated (initially for an esthetician), a covered RV storage spot, and a fenced in hot tub area.

And that does not include the other benefits of owning real estate.since 2016, I have invested in 33 rentals and a small storage facility.

For example they said no pests, but selected no testing had been done, they didn't know how old the septic tank was, when it was last pumped, or the frequency, and didn't know age of roof. 

Heard about a stint where people paid money for a home in another country, and the company in charge sold them basements and storage instead, and took their money. 

I want to spend these available hours learning about different strategies of real estate such as flipping, self-storage, creative financing, auction lists, buying foreclosures or REOs, and short term rentals.
