As someone in the game for more than 30 years, there are cities I have always been interested in, but have no interest in a one-off for myself so this is a great opportunity to get exposure in a market without any of the operational pain.4.

And I generally require a sponsor that has full real estate cycle experience with little to no money lost, low leverage, high skin in the game and reasonable fees and promotes.However, other investors will look at these deals as bad/too boring for them because they are more aggressive and not concerned about the risks of default, refinance, interest rates changing etc.

Start with Strategy by Dave Meyerhttps://a.co/d/8u2CtKyI read this book in Sept and it seriously changed the game for me.

The BRRRR method and creative financing are game-changers!

The current game is flipping which is a job (stop flipping and you stop making money) or more patience than I have.  

Unless you bought RE a few years ago, created equity via successful BRRRR, flip, or do a combination you're just playing the appreciation game. 

Love that you have been in the RE game for so long!

But my understanding is that it's a numbers game.

Once I gave in and bought a few only to not have assistance and no clear direction so frustration took over and I was still learning but needed direction, I finally found a group of investors to help me,  guide me,  and teach me the ins and outs of the industry.If I am not working deals learning the ropes or watching videos for extra information in real estate investing you can find me at my full time career as a Auto Injury Claims Specialist with big red.
