I expect new regulations being passed across the country that go against STRs. I can see the point of making the new regulations. Hotel companies aren't going to just sit back and let STRs take over their businesses. 

What I can see happening in the future is hotel brands start to buy homes and rent them out in regulated zones.

Hi all,

I recently came across a really funny yet very educating series on Youtube called "Life for Sale". It details the life of Ben Mallah a very successful Real Estate Investor who has a portfolio worth roughly $200M however due to his unhealthy habits, his doctor predicts he'll drop dead in 5 years and that's why he wants to sell his all of his assets such as cars, yacht, RE portfolio and more (I'm not sure if he still wants to sell these things).

Not only is it educating but it's extremely funny, Ben comes across as brash and seems to get on with everyone (even though it doesn't come across like that)

Here's the link to Season 1 

He's been losing a lot of weight. Very smart guy and knows how to do real estate. You learn more from him than you do Grant Cardone.  

Find a Starbucks, Home Depot or another well known brand. Stay away from retail like clothing. You may not be competitive though. You should be able to find a multi-family that needs value add or a small motel.

Not legal. What you trying to hint at is nothing more than peer-to-peer exchanges. The accredited investor is the one putting skin in the game. That accredited investor is free to do with what she or he wants after she or he collects the checks, but not legal with what you are describing. 


Instead, I would encourage you to become an accredited investor yourself. Go out and get it done if you want to invest.  

Post: Investing in Fractional Notes

There are always potential pitfalls with notes regardless of ownership stake. 

@Kyohei Yoshida plan on $50k at minimum just for basic operation of it.

If one hasn't lost money in a deal then they haven't taken big enough risks. High risk leads to high rewards. Note investing is a high risk high rewards investment option. 

One can start by buying their own notes, do a partial, or sell leads to other investors. 

Personally, OP, I'm getting started to do note investing but I'm going to be doing student loans, mortgages, accounts receivables, and vehicles. Buying other companies' debt, called factoring, can provide steady, long-term income, and factor transactions are generally win-win situations. After purchasing accounts receivable, generally at a discount over the face value of the debts, the original company's debtors will make their payments directly to your company.

Since 2015 there has been $28 billion of loans sold (real estate only).

Hi,

Looking for feedback from local Milwaukee investors.

I currently reside in CA but am interested in exploring the MKE market as I have family there and a property manager I might be able to add to my team. Seeking a small multi family that will require low-moderate rehab and cash flow nicely.

After briefly researching online it appears to be a favorable market with decent population growth / ave cap rate.

Questions I have:

- Top emerging neighborhoods around the area?

- Best cash flowing areas?

- Indicators of industry/job growth?

- For those with rental properties: are you increasing rents each year? If so, what %?

- Any areas to avoid? Anything to watch out for?

Thanks in advance!



The 53122 ZIP code includes 2,292 households, and 75 percent of them earn at least $75,000 a year. Nearly 30 percent make in excess of $200,000. That is the biggest upside for income that you will find anywhere in Wisconsin. Just an FYI more than anything. 


@Nick Cucci Hi Nick. I work for a company that is raising investor funds for a new product release. Like what takes place with our company, getting paid to raise money for those syndication funds is not allowed. There are a lot of rules in place to prevent this from happening. Even I can't go out and raise money for our company even though I know people who would invest. 

@Roxanne McClain in my town there are always rooms open and they tend to only go for $60 a night. It doesn't seem like it's a big thing in my state outside of athletic events at the pro and college level.
