I have a lot to learn and look forward to gleaning all I can from this site--and any recommended resources--before I start taking small steps to become my own investor.I'm mostly interested in investing for income as a means of supplementing and diversifying my retirement.

A lot can be gleaned from property records, court records, google maps, etc.Happy New Year!

I've tried in the past, and found that I'm generally too soft on tennants to be a good landlord, but I'd like to re-evaluate that situation and build a book of income property, so I'm hoping to glean some advice and possibly some practical solutions to address my landlord shortcommings before I jump back in to that segment of REI.I hope that gives a little more detail on me, and again I appreciate the warm welcome thus far.

Been exploring endless threads the past few weeks, at every opportunity, gleaning valuable nuggets to improve our business.

As I anticipated, no one has actually answered my question, so I thought I would be a bit more specific.From what I can glean, B-Corps were created specifically to provide a vehicle for private foundations to allocate their funds to assets that generated revenue, but whose primary purpose was not profit.

Of course, you can also glean from the REI veterans that have been imparting their expertise here in BP.
