[Scott Louis]

Hello I have been a stock market investor for the last few years and now I am wanting to learn more about real estate investing. From what i have researched Theres a few ways to do it (Reits, syndication, or to buy a unit yourself) What do you recomend the best method is? I have previous experience subletting with Airbnb units and it was very profitable until my apartment barred tenants from doing it. Also, I live in Nashville so we have booming job growth yet prices are overvalued. Would it be better to wait or get in now? Thanks

Leverage is the name of the game in real estate investing. The more of your own money you put into a deal, the lower the ROI. Find that balance between high ROI and putting the minimum amount of money into the deal. That's what my husband and I have done for 8 years and it's boded very well for us.
