hi, since im getting very sick of working for someone else, im deciding which is the better way to go with? im cant decide is it better to go investing in real estate, by this i mean buy one piece of property and then rent it out for income after it gets paid off in a few years. then buy another and so on. it will be a slow process one by one.
or my other idea would be be open my own business like a resturant ( most likely a franchise) but not sure yet.
im having alot of debate between which way to go with, so what are your suggestions and which one would be better for the fastlane? thanks for any suggestions. :smx8:
