Right now I have my investment as real estate (a PR6 directory) and I can cash out by selling but I decided to go for the long run and I believe that in a year or so if I continue working on it I can start making some good money from it.

The average directory takes around two to three years to show any reasonable profit if you’re looking to develop a quality directory that could end up a major directory. Marketing of course is the largest expense and development services not far behind it.
