But 2025 offers other opportunities that did not exist 10 or even 5 years ago - think AI and online businesses.

Started with the flip business 2 years ago and going strong. id say start by practicing comps in your area, learn your market and go to real estate meetups.

I have a bit of experience with co-living investors, having been involved in several co-living investments for five years.

If you do a good job and make the private lender happy they will want to do this again.Then there's seller financing which you see a lot with businesses, and commercial property.

I use the terms -  "corporate furnished rentals",  "short-term rentals",  and talk about my target clients-  Business travelers, traveling nurses, traveling healthcare workers.#6  Knowledge -  Know why STR is better for the landlord than traditional rentals.   

Be very careful who you take advice from online, you should get involved with a local attorney and a local realtor.

I also ran my own roofing business one summer of college.

If we hadn’t been fraudulently lead to believe it was a cash deal, we would have not said it was a cash deal and I wouldn't be out $10,000 of EM and a realtor threatening to sue me for their lost commission.I have 25 years in this business and have never experienced the out in out lies this company has continuously regurgitated to us, knowing all along the deal wasn’t going to go thru. 

This is how I grew my real estate business over the past few years.

Are you building for pure investment purposes or are you looking to use some of the space for personal/personal business use?
