@James McGovern too bad for you but at least it is only three plants so the only way you get alot of plants is if you have alot of people in the unit allowed to grow. 

You go at this with discipline and patience, and because of that most people fail at getting there.Start planting some seeds, let the 8th wonder of the world work, then go from there.FWIW, we get into STRs but with no more than 30% leverage.

Both projects are on County Road 403, a few miles from the Samsung plant.

Having a community like we have in Chicago definitely should encourage you to keep going no matter what - there will be tons of issues and challenges, but the persistence to move forward and build your resilience is what makes the successful people successful in my opinion!

I love the diversification aspect, as we have invested in large commercial multi-family, trailer parks, hotels and even a steel manufacturing plant.

This deal taught me resilience and shaped my investing approach.

Is there a garden/plants anywhere near the house? 

Or maybe we will just devolve into a future of “Idiocracy,” and we feed Gatorade to the plants because water is for the toilet….

As someone who worked at a ford motor plant, and bought standard oil gasoline at shell, and purchased goods from Macy's, and groceries from a large grocer - it made sense for this individual to invest a portion of his/her earnings into these respective companies as they were a consumer - so by spending their dollars on the companies products if they were a small share holder they would be benefiting in the overall financial health of these companies.
