Its very risky for him to think he can buy rentals here in the price points he can afford and make any meaningful return He can buy into GB real estate deals and make 6 to 10% return very safely and not have to take the tenant risk we know all to well with US rentals in the mid west and at those price points..

This year, I am going to focus on creating meaningful relationships with my existing contacts.

Things are going well with this property which has sparked this desire to seriously pursue Real Estate Investing as a full-time business!

I'm not by any means a lawyer or a housing law expert, but I found this:The Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) introduced meaningful federal enforcement mechanisms.

Looking forward to building some meaningful relationships! 

Some day i'll know enough to add a meaningful contribution to bp.

The $500K exemption might not be enough for a lot of people...this is why this is all so regional  many parts of the rust belt the values peaked 20 to 30 years ago and have been eroding ever since.. so get that they don't have the same upside all the west coast folks have .. nicely bought west coast properties especially if you built them yourselves will be plenty of money you don't need rentals.. you get tax free money when you sell then keep rolling it.. that's what many builders do .. and I know I have done it 6 times since I bought my first home in Silicon valley in the late 70s.. and I am just one of millions of other west coast owners who have done the same.. and of course those that bought rentals on the west coast plus their homes have serious equity.. those in the mid west or rust belt the only value proposition basically is cash flow and number of doors since they really don't get or have gotten meaningful appreciation..  

Seeing the equity in my own home increase significantly in the past two years sparked my interest to explore different avenues of potentially investing with that equity.

Spark & Ink for business, Savor and USAA for personal are a few great ones. 

So there's no meaningful differences outside of those two areas. 3.
