I like Gulf Shores because I am looking for high-appreciation markets that can still generate a minimum 15% cash-on-cash return (CoC).I scrolled through the Deal Finder to review some deals with my set parameters: 4+ bedrooms ✅3+ bathrooms ✅No condos ✅View (sort of) ✅My price range ✅This listing sparks my interest.

After a journey of growth and knowledge I discovered the wonderful world of real estate and it's ability to transform my future for the better.

Which books did you read on tax strategies that sparked you interest at the end of the year?

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/new-osu-hospital-expected-to-transform-health-careHere are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0 https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbus Check out The Complete Guide to the Columbus, Ohio Real Estate Market which goes through the Columbus, Ohio market in depth and will give you a better scope of where the highest levels of growth are taking place and where to look to invest.

Sparked an interest in 2012, watched a lot of Home Network shows and thought it was an interesting industry... tried to learn on my own but couldn't find a proper structure or resource pool to pull from... enrolled in school 2013, completed 4 years of Business ... got my degree with major in Real Estate, convinced my wife that owning was better than renting, purchased first home in 2018 and bought some land this summer!

Real estate sparked this fire and I don’t see it being extinguished any time soon!

Quote from @Andrew Sparks: @Mark ODay, initially I thought James had quite the arrogant response, but I do believe his intention was there.

Episode 28 with @Dave Van Horn really sparked my interest in note investing.  

@Rob Terpilowski WOW —— gorgeous transformation, doesn’t even look like the same place!

They have great ideas about transforming a community block by block.
