I have been devouring books by Brandon Turner to get a better grasp on a macro view of the theories of real estate investing .

Just decided to get back into retail real estate too so, back helping fellow investors and Home Owners acquire property along with my own projects this should be fun lol.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Quote from @V.G Jason: The real question is duration of these tariffs. 

I’m a newly licensed real estate agent, but I haven’t chosen a brokerage to hang my license with yet.

I would try not to tie up any of the principal in down payments.Personally, I had a family member do this same thing, but they used an investment portfolio as the collateral instead of real estate.If you play your cards right, this might be the only short-term money you ever need.Please let us know what you end up doing.

I'm new to the platform but have been investing in real estate for some time.

That is why it is hard to get regular real estate loans on assets valued so low, the cost of the refinance makes it so you are paying higher than they can legally charge you percentage wise.

@Yael DoronHi - I don't invest in Phoenix but was just curious if you already own real estate and are looking to expand into Phoenix, or are brand new.
