How to Start Investing in Real Estate in 2025 (ZERO Experience)Good luck, Tyler! 

Their cost structures are significantly different from what new investors face today.Maybe I haven't yet reached the section that addresses different market conditions and interest rate environments, but I’d love to hear insights from those with more experience.

You Can Only Have 35 Non-Accredited InvestorsRule 506(b) allows an unlimited number of accredited investors but restricts you to only 35 non-accredited investors.However, there’s a catch:Non-accredited investors must be financially sophisticated.They must have enough experience to evaluate the investment risks.From the SEC:“Securities may not be sold to more than 35 non-accredited investors… [who] must meet the legal standard of having sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.”If you’re planning to include non-accredited investors, make sure they qualify—or you could be violating SEC rules.3.

If I may, in your experience, is this difficult to accomplish with a HELOC already established?

Really appreciate you sharing your experience, sounds like a solid deal with a great profit margin, especially considering you did 90% of the work yourself.

Quote from @Marc Zak: Anyone have experience on the issue of getting insurance on a property held in an LLC?

Hey all, first time landlord with ~3 months experience here.I brought a tenant in 3 months ago with an insurance company paying the rent (tenant's house is being repaired after a fire).

@Gil CanfuBased on my experience working with over 400 investors, investing in a single-family home in Dallas with a $300K budget is a smart move due to the area's strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

I’m giving serious consideration to converting into a PadSplit.However, I have heard that Fort Worth (the city, Tarrant County, the faceless boogey man…) has issues with PadSplit whereas Dallas County is supportive.I would love to hear about your experiences between the two markets and if Fort Worth can be viable for PadSplit and anything I should be mindful of?

Hindsight and a few decades of experience has taught me that with a good lawyer I would have been in the clear completely.
