Contact a commercial real estate agent, invest in a NNN property in most major cities. Getting 5% unleveraged is extremely easy, if you leverage you should be making over 10% per year.
Buyers and sellers need to agree on a price, it is not always the case that they agree for the listed price, hence bid and ask prices are different.
For example, when thousands of people want to sell at $1000, then there will be downward pressure on the bitcoin. When someone tries to sell out $1,000,000 worth of bitcoin, he will need to find a buyer that is willing to part with $1,000,000 USD. Good luck!
$750,000 could net you $100,000 a year in income. Let's say $90,000 a year if you have an expensive property manager. You can start here: http://biggerpockets.com
Buy and hold. I had been patient and bought after the market crashed. I bought it in another state and put 25% down on a 4-plex. Rent pays my mortgage and I have money in my account every month.
I would have tried to earn more money in order to purchase more.
For me it is passive, I have a property manager. I did all of my research online, met my agent over the phone after Googling. Did not visit the property before purchasing. I did a lot of research however...
They got some great press upon launch. TC, Gizmodo, Pcmag, Time, engadget, etc. When it rains, it pours. Way to go. Most of the money is likely to go towards manufacturing, I hope their business model let's them make a healthy profit as well.
Does anyone think it would be a good business idea to join their API for $1,000?
