@Michael Doyle Thanks! Have you been to many of the Milwaukee REIA meetings? I came across that group in my research so far but was just wondering what they were like from someone who's also somewhat new.
@Calvin Ozanick Not too far! So far, turnkey investments are probably top 3 in addition to crowdfunding & raw land in danger of foreclosure that I'm really interested in and doing more research on. Thanks for being a resource, I know if we do rentals we'd definitely need a property manager :)
@Jason Graves Is investing in a syndication the same thing as crowdfunding? I have more research to do in this area, but it is definitely HIGH on my list because of the mostly passive nature of it. Any good books or resources you'd recommend on this topic?
@Kevin Rea Yes, I did hear back! $75 for the entire list, but it is not broken down into different property types. Just names, addresses, how much they are tax delinquent. I was thinking if I went this route I'd hire a virtual assistant to narrow the list down to raw land only and then go from there. Do you have the website for delinquent tax info? I've found how to look up who owns the property and what the annual taxes are, but I'm not sure if it would also list delinquent taxes or if I've simply never looked up a property that had them. Sounds like you're doing a lot of legwork though, but good for you!
@Marcus Auerbach @Jeff Cichocki Those are definitely good points, and after doing more reading since my original post I've decided to put note holding on the back burner for now. I think it would be a better outcome for me down the road once we've built up enough of our investments that we a) have more cash to fund entire properties and b) have more experience in real estate dealings in general. Do you guys feel the same way about syndication/crowdfunding investments? The mostly passive nature of it is very attractive to me. I just started reading "Alternative Financial Medicine" to learn more about it & other investment techniques. A mentor would certainly be a great asset but I also feel like I need to have a better idea of exactly which 1-2 REI techniques I'm going to start with as we begin our real estate investing journey.
