@Account Closed raising private capital.  I do feel the best way to raise funds is to partner with a money person while you do all the other work.  Good luck

@Isaac Johnson I completely agree. That being said I still love my vanguard index funds. I put money in and collect good returns with zero thought. Real estate is a better return but It is my full time job. Dave Ramsey’s also speaking to millions of people. He is sending out a message that is tailored to people that are better off focusing on their debt and easy investments.

The name of the game is to make money, not get occupied with dogma or ego. Stocks are great and real estate is great. Own both!

Agree 100% on owning both; let me go out on a limb and say, what if investors spent the same amount of time with stocks (not funds) as they do with real estate?  Would their returns be similar?  I feel sometimes its not an apples to apples comparison.  Reading the news, 10ks and 10Qs earnings reports,annual reports, analyst reports, market analysis, podcasts cnbc etc etc.  You would be able to side step losses, find some good quality  small,micro, and mid cap up and comers.  Personally I rode Ulta and Nvdia a few years back which allowed me to pay off student debt and helped with the down payments on all of my real estate deals. 

My personal advice, is to learn as much as you can about everything.  Be eager to learn, and worst case scenario, it will make  you a more well rounded well versed communicator and networker.  Good luck all

Go to his office hours and ask if he has ever read rich dad poor dad, or watched the rich dad radio show/podcast?  He may even earn more of your respect.

@Storm S.

Thanks for the info. I guess everything you read on. Investopedia isn’t accurate. I’d use a little bit of everything to maximize the probability of profitability. They say fundamentals tell you what to buy and technical analysis tells you when to buy it. As the saying goes I’d rather be lucky than good. On that note good luck and happy investing

@Sawyer Smith

At a seminar I attended a year or two ago they had this for property manager evaluations and the tenants graded them. And the managers could earn rewards as a Christmas like bonus. Something to think about

@Storm S.

Humbly disagree. Def should study technical analysis married with fundamental analysis. That’s like saying only invest in stocks and not reits or re.

Learn the golden cross, death cross, cup and handle 50/200 day moving averages, volume, rsi macd, Boulanger bands etc. make the moves before the big boys do and you will make money, even more so than them. I like Bill Gunderson’s ideology and another one who doesn’t invest in companies that don’t have earnings. Earnings drive stock prices over the long haul.

Knowledge is power

@Luke Saglimbeni

And in real estate you have control not a corporatations board of directors or majority stake holders.

@Isaac Johnson

I agree with both of you. I use stocks to generate enough capital to fund my real estate deals. Use the best of both worlds. Even Robert kiyosaki okays stocks. The liquidity and volatility played correctly can yield quick returns. From January to September I was batting 48% YTD, special thanks to Blackstone.

Real estate is definitely a wealth builder! Leverage tenants pay the debt for you, and Jason Hartman teaches inflation kills the value of debt anyway. For example,A $1m mortgage is only worth $750k I’m future dollars!!! Not to mention the supply cap and tax benefits of owning real estate.

Best of both worlds why not take advantage of both of them!!!!
