1. What is the hardest thing about buying a property? Why is it hard?  

Sometimes the hardest part about buying a home isn’t finding it, it’s getting it. That means there are too few homes and too many people needing a place to live. That means there are more buyers than sellers. That gives sellers the advantage, meaning it’s a Seller’s Market.

2. What are your sentiments towards renting either as a renter or as a landlord?

Rental property is not cheap, and keeping it on the market is no easy task

3. If you had $1,000 to invest in anything today, what would you invest in and why?

With $1,000, I can invest in REIT stocks, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds. It is a great way to diversify your portfolio outside of traditional stocks and bonds and can be attractive for their strong dividends and long-term capital appreciation.

Hello Sean! You can try out rental properties.

Here’s how to invest 50k in real estate with the least amount of risk: Rental properties!

Listen, no matter who you ask or where you go, you’ll always hear that rental properties are the BEST way to invest 50k for income. If you are investing on your own, 50k is plenty of money to invest, not just in one rental property but maybe even two! You can use the $50k as a down payment for two investment properties that are within the 100-120k price range. It could be a studio apartment, a duplex, a multi-family property, a single-family home or two regular apartments in a building. The best part of real estate investing is that it provides a variety of property types for you to invest in. So, you won’t feel limited to any sort in particular.

Hope this helps you have a great day!

My advice is that you do have to be comfortable with the fact that you're not going to be conforming to "traditional" social norms.  If you're okay with an unconventional lifestyle, this can be a great way to start building wealth early. Hope this helps Hariharan!

Hi Jose! Rentals are the most proven way for real estate investors to create passive income. Each individual rental is just one piece in your portfolio’s passive income. Accumulating a large number of cash flowing rentals is the most proven strategy for building passive income.
