I live in N Arkansas. I dont travel. My vacas are spent on the Buffalo or creek somewhere. I dont need much. My monthlys, utiities and house/car insurance is 700 month.

Health isurance will be an issue. Will have alot of time on my hands to figue out a way to make a little change. May want to work winters. IDK

But I am tired of setting at a desk all day everyday watching my life fly by. 25yrs on currret job. Divorced 15 ys ago. The next 10 yrs will probably be the best 10 left as far as being able to do anything. Its hitting me hard lately. Burned out,

No reason to rob IRAs or 401k.


I'm going to hold off on my financial advice, but will say good for you for having this realization now and pursuing it!

Looking for guidance on getting into real estate. Should I buy a condo near LSU and put it up for rent? Should I buy a single family house in a DSLD neighborhood and rent it out? Beach condo? What is the best route for me and how much should I put down and what price vs rental income should I be looking at?


Real Estate investing in Louisiana is for you if you can buy at <50% of the appraised value or if you are happy with 5-7% returns on your money. If those don't pertain to you then Louisiana is not the market for you.

Thanks for that, I'll look up a Glossary for Syndications to get my feet wet. There were plenty of terms that I wasn't familiar with in our recent conversations, I need to get more comfortable with that terminology.

Syndications and Crowd Funding

Afternoon Compadres, I am on the journey of "making my money work for me" and I have come across Syndications and Crowd Funding. I have read all of the basics and understand the theories, but I don't have the network or relationships with actual people that have invested in them. I am looking for advice, experience, or information related to them. How do I take the jump without ending up in ponzi scheme or something like it?

I have recently been connected with a couple of folks that are raising capital for O&G projects, Storage Facilities, Multifamily housing Etc. The initial investments range from $10k-$100k. They all sell it real well, but what is the reality vs what they are selling?
