What's your long term investment strategy?

[Tony Frasher]

I purchased 2 SFH last year as rentals, and plan on buying a few more this year, but my long term goal is to build up a portfolio and once the commercial real estate starts hitting a bottom like residential is now, to make my move into it. That being said, I really know nothing about it. I'm not the type that's trying to be a zillionaire, just looking to make a comfortable life for me and my family. What should I be educating myself on? What do you do for your long term investments? Any info is appreciated, thanks!

Hello Tony -- Rachel is quite right to say that comfort level plays a big part in decision to follow residential or commercial.

I've been asked that question lots of times, and wrote an article on the subject of few years back where I tried to list out many of the pros and cons. Here it is, and hope you find it helpful:
