As many have said in this thread already, it doesn't have to be binary. You can do both! You seem to good at trading, so take that active income and invest it to diversify. Some have mentioned how REI has 4 distinct ways of generating a return in comparison to only in stocks or specifically trading like you are doing. The most important reason to invest in real estate is because it is far more passive than 'trading'.

My family will be taken care of for generations to come without having to learn anything. Property managers will handle the properties while my dependents collect the cash while doing what they love and not having to 'learn' real estate.

Would you hire an attorney to represent you before they passed the BAR? Or a Doctor to perform surgery on you before graduating from Medical School? In both scenarios, getting your credentials doesn't make you qualified to handle the job unless you have previous on the job experience.

@Joanne Tsai,

In my humble opinion, a chainlink fence just doesn't do justice to most properties. A great wooden fence, while more expensive, will last a really long time and actually make the property look better. Most tenants appreciate the privacy and how it can make it more kid/pet friendly.

@Mercedes Williams,

This is typically because there are tenants in place and most investors don't want to share with the tenants that they are selling the property. Getting pictures and such will tip off the tenants.

 Hi @Vincent Donato,

Look into Hemlane. I haven't personally used the service, but have looked into it in the past. The idea is that their team does all of the not so fun stuff with management for a cost that is usually much cheaper than hiring a property manager. PM is usually the best way to go, but this is an alternate resource for those that need it.

@Sol Silverstein that is unfortunate.

All states are different when it comes to real estate licensing law. I suggest reaching out to the broker in charge and letting them know what happened. He may be liable either way but if he didn't get it to you now, it's gonna be a tough path forward. Broker may be able to help through E&O insurance.

An amendment should work fine. Double check local regulations though.

@Nathan Gesner thank you.

I did get a couple intros that I will go through and connect with to set up a working relationship. The other tips are also helpful!

Atlanta investors! Who do you trust to do your cost segregation studies for residential investment properties?
