 After 30 years, what advice would you give in real estate? 

Good due diligence habits are important when investing.  I personally walked and researched every property prior to investing to understand what I was buying, what could be done to add value and what I should expect in cash flow and appreciation.

Learning what makes a good investment for you is absolutely necessary.  There are a lot of ways to invest in RE and each requires building necessary skills.  

In my opinion a fully passive RE investment is the most risky because you give total control to others.  Reducing risk requires at least some time spent in research and involvement in a deal.

There are many other things you learn along the way as well.

One of my goals for this year is to buy a property OOS and another one in my backyard. But the most realistic goal I have is to get better at analyzing deals. Math makes everything better. How about yourself what's one goal you want to accomplish?

My goal is reviewing retirement options.  After 30+ years investing it is to enjoy the hard work.
