Glad to learn :)

How has it served you well thus far? In what way?

I 100% understand what you are saying about due diligence. Thats as good as it gets!! 

Is it serving you well? The way you thought it would?

@Meghan Carson thank you muchly for the clear answer!

OP original poster: aww haha! Can there be fake posters? Or others?

Your housing. Do you own? Renting.. Or how much do you pay in rent. $650 per week.

Factor these into your investment decision. Factor: how so?

To so a duplex or triplex. This seems like managing, which I do not care to do.

Also don’t know your taxes there. (high haha)

In the US you get favorable treatment both from a loan and tax standpoint. Join a group there ( what sort of group? The ones you mentioned above?)

Are you near a resort area? (yes 100% tourist area)

You might rent your house out during the high season and live in a cheaper location. (if you rent: you cannot rent out, and I do not really want to deal with people. I am in a service business and also a property manager so I am done with people after 7pm! Hence why I do not want to start another career that is too people based)

How did you do your due diligence?

@Henry Clark

By the way Henry, what is OP? haha :)

and what does this mean? may you please break it down to me?

''your best RE investment will always be your housing up front. To get started you need an additional strategy that helps you build cash.''

How can I trust the right thing will be done in my interest?

@Henry Clark 100% not 10 lol

@Henry Clark

I've noted all the points you mentioned, and I'll take them on board asap!

In terms of reaching my goals, I’m curious about which real estate strategy might be the best fit for me. Should I focus on buy and hold, flipping, wholesaling, or perhaps commercial properties?

I  did say i am planning to sell my business to free up some capital. (The business is doing well so i thought sell it while it’s hot) While that’s my main focus, I'm also looking for ways to invest my extra income wisely, as I want my money to work for me. This is what got my interest in real estate I need to plant in harvest. 

As I continue to study real estate! I've realized that I'm not looking to start another full-time career. Although, I am very interested in learning about real estate full time but not willing to make it a business. My goal is to achieve financial freedom by age 36 and to understand various aspects such as investing education, strategies, business planning, properties, marketing, and exit strategies. I want to (willing to) learn everything I can but I do not want to start a new career but I 100% want to be in real estate!

Could you share some avenues I can explore that align with this approach?
