Hi Everyone,

First of all, I'd like to personally thanks all the incredible contributors here which make the forum such a valuable place.
Special thanks to @SteveO, @JScott, @MJ DeMarco, @biophase and @Vigilante - thanks to your posts, I get started in entrepreneurship few years ago, and I will never be able to thank you enough for that.

Here are my thoughts, on which I'd love to pick your brain..

- I started entrepreneurship with online businesses. Especially e-commerce, thanks to which I make a living today, with few brands that I own.
- During the journey, I found to be very true the following adage "It takes money to make money".
- I found way easier to borrow money for Real Estate projects, rather than for inventory financing , cash-flow needs or acquisitions.
The reason is simple: A business can lose everything overnight, which is not the case with RE.

Consequently, it seems to have a lot more really high net worth individuals in the RE development field rather than the e-commerce space.

I know that @biophase has experience in both industries, I'd love to have your opinion about it.

Have a nice day!

Snake

Tldr: I found way easier to make money with money, and lending entities are way more at ease to lend for RE projects rather than online ones.
