Anyway you slice it this game takes $$$$. 

Berkshire Hathaway Realty is pretty active  realty brokerage and I am sure generates plenty of cash flow from brokering deals, so no matter how you slice it, Buffet is making money.As for apartment investing and the greater economic conditions he mentioned in the quote, seems like solid reasoning, as he is well known for.

Any way you slice it, pull your own credit first to get your FICO.  

@Richard Paul Weisman you’re very welcome man! Go

there was over 125k between the purchase price and the ARV and it seems like a lot of work for the tiny slice that is left after you sell..Like you, I definitely prefer the smaller rehabs..  

Ever seen a gardener get sliced by a blade?

It is probably more than you can handle doesn't mean you can't get a slice of the pie and learn as well.

To briefly touch on some important points, however …If you’re worried about a downturn, it’s not at all clear that precious metals and cryptocurrencies are uncorrelated assets or negatively correlated to the stock market, meaning in the event of a recession one should expect them to retain value (in fact, recent evidence suggests the potential for an opposite correlation of both Bitcoin and gold).If you’re worried about inflation, real estate is as good or better hedge than just about anything besides stocks.If you’re focused on returns, RE returns easily beat precious metals pretty much any way you slice it.

Depending on your circumstances that might be tougher for you to stick out/with.Real estate is an onion that can be sliced 1000 different ways so the possibilities for RE-related side gigs are plentiful.

I also highly recommend that you bring in a partner that has done multiple successful syndications, even if he is mostly just advising and assisting in asset management, it would be worth giving a slice of the GP to have someone in the deal with experience.
