To me it opens your eyes to the way our tax system works and can be worked in conjunction with tax free investment vehicles to work in everyones favor.

Then I can help manage the fund by investing in a variety of vehicles such as private funding to developers, buy&hold apartment complexes, etc.My question is-  1) what licenses/certificates do I need to start such business?
