Accredited Investor Looking for Advise

[Zach G.]

Hi BP Community -

I have been researching real estate investments for the past year and so far have invested passively through Crowdfunding platforms (Realtyshares, Peerstreet, etc.). Most of the investments have been debt investments and working out well so far. As I look forward, I am wondering whether I should expand on this strategy and continue investing passively through crowdfunding platforms into apartments and commercial real estate (both debt and equity). From what I have read or heard, apartment investing seems to be one of the best vehicles that most investors want to get into. I have a very busy career and with 2 small kids, don't have enough time to invest actively or search for good deals. I live in the expensive CA market so will have to look out of state should I try to do this on my own. I am hoping to generate enough passive income to start slowing down in the next 5 years. Would love to hear what you think of this strategy and what you would do if you were / are in a similar situation.

Thanks,

Zach
