How to reduce risk
Hello everyone, I've been looking into investing in real estate for some time now. I don't have money to invest so I have been reaching out to people I know who would like to invest their money. Questions I have been getting is how am I going to reduce risk and not lose their money incase something happens to the property like a fire or a flood etc.
Any investors out there willing to give advice, will be much appreciated.
Thank You!

@Joshua Acosta
Biggest factor to reducing risk is experience. Strongly recommend not using other peoples money to invest in real estate until you have used your own monies.
