Seeking Investment Guidance

[Biren J.]

Hello All,

I'm getting back into REST investing after over 10 years off and learning a lot from the REST bubble of late last decade.  I'm looking to become a long term REST investor and would like to buy and hold, and flip but am finding that the San Jose Bay Area is too expensive to get into for such investments.  I'm looking at alternatives to the before mentioned and am thinking about investing in Tax Liens, Notes, and/or Crowdfunding (like opportunities on RealtyShares) but don't know much about any of those subjects.  Any guidance on where I can go to learn more about these types of investments or links to previously posted material would be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you.

Biren

Hey @Biren J., welcome to BP! I haven't been around for 10+ years so maybe they called it something different back in the day but I don't think REST means anything in the context of real estate investing (REI is a common acronym for Real Estate Investing).

Aside from that, you should be able to find a ton of information through Bigger Pockets on the topics you're interested in by using the search feature.  Typing in a term like "tax lien" will pull up tons of useful forum posts, blogs, files, companies, etc.
