G'Day everyone,Over the years I have spoken to thousands of real estate investors through my various companies.They all seem to be caught up on the "Financial Freedom" buzz word.I'm posting today to open your eyes up to a different approach. 

The only difference nowadays, in 2018, is you just replace "artists" with "millennial hipsters" and you're good to go!

If you’re looking to place money passively into a real estate deal, it’s important to know how much you need to have budgeted for different strategies, so lets start off with the smallest buy in to the largest.1- Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)At the smallest investment level you’ll have a real estate investment trust, or a REIT.REITs are essentially huge portfolios of properties that you can invest in even through apps nowadays that help you get started for as little as a few hundred bucks for a private REIT.Private REITs are actual private real estate holdings as opposed to a public REIT which is traded on the stock market.Public REITs are not actual investment in real estate, they’re investments in stocks, so really there isn’t a pricing barrier here just like you can invest almost any amount in another stock, you can do the same here.

I focus solely on non performing notes now as finding  deals on properties is extremely tough nowadays, particularly if you're not local to the area. 

Thanks Nathan,I have a couple hundred thousand $$$ in a very speculative crypto called KIN along with smaller holdings in a few others ;)I’m in the red big time right now It’s a long term play for me and my prediction is they will eventually be worth something The technology behind blockchain is where it’s at and not so much the tokens I suggest folks getting in more for the purpose of learning what the “hype and buzz” is about rather than making moneyThanks again 

Most people have the app nowadays and it's extremely convenient to transfer the funds into your bank account. 

Nowadays banks want their full 20% down.

Aloha @Damien Ashton , I'm not on here as much nowadays.  

Buzz feed and MSN just haven't interviewed them). 

Dang the title alone has me wondering what % of sub/urban America (where most Americans do live) qualifies nowadays!?
