I love sports, hockey and baseball.

The best hitters at the professional level of baseball average 3/10. 

On the passive side: REIT, NNN, joining SyndicationsIn the middle (not passive, but attempt to minimize the work): turnkey, multifamily with a PM, SFR with PMLabor intensive: notes, self managed buy n hold RE Most labor intensive but opportunity for highest returns: Value adds, BRRRR, wholesale, being the syndicator, being the developer, flips.The last category requires work, but can produce returns in a different league than the stock market. 

I have become financially independent and a large part of my portfolio is invested in all kinds of real estate deals and REITs are my favorite, especially at today's valuations, primarily because it's truly passive income and you get to invest with high quality companies run by ivy league investment managers who have access to cheaper capital and better deal flow.  

I need to find real estate investors that are located in the Houston area, more specifically: Friendswood, Pearland, Alvin, Webster or League City.

So to quantify, the tax plan, raising capital gains, ending 1031, is the incoming Presidents tax plan, has the full endorsement of AOC and the "League of _______", has repeatedly confirmed it's focus on targeting "rich" investors as means to pay for the 3/4 TRILLION (Trillion with a T) in proposed spending.

Those two facts alone take up most of my time, but I like to watch/play sports (especially baseball, football, and golf) when I can.  

I contacted a property manager and am waiting for a response, hopefully monday as I'm a little out of my league with this one.

Thats something I have considered, but the price of a duplex (or bigger) is a bit out of my league.

As you get income, a basic rule that will help you out is to put 50% of income towards your bills, 30% of income towards things you enjoy (restaurants, gym membership, baseball tickets, etc.) and then 20% of your income to savings and/or debt.
