I realized that I am looking at REI as my "out" from the food industry and this incredibly stressful job managing kitchens. 

I am looking for areas where the Vegan restaurants are going, the Microbreweries, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, etc.

The other is how much you spend; that includes everything from housing to food to transportation.  

So, it should be a major consideration in your decision and you should avoid such debt as much as possible.I was fortunate to complete my degree at UW with no student debt and was able to purchase my first condo at 24 working a low paying job in the food industry coming out of college.

Food for thought for all investors starting out and learning to be their own appraiser, which every investor must learn to do.

The property in question is in Florida.Here is the situation:Fix & flipper (Borrower) pitched me on 09/2017 for a property acquired for $72,000 off market for a fix and flipHe had a first lien holder that paid the $72,000 as primary lien holderI was to provide the rehab loan of $10,000 and would be the second lien holder via a mortgage note.

And, food for thought... 3.

My favorite type of meetup is just where I can go, eat some food, drink some beer (if you want) and network and talk to people.

Most elderly people in that situation like having an income stream to supplement their retirement and is why they still own rental properties and converting from landlord to lien holder would alleviate the hassle of them having to do improvements and repairs, this could also offset some/most capital gains as well.
