The $5000 spent for access to Brad's training videos and his network is arguably a lot cheaper than some of the hard lessons learned by doing it yourself and spending tremendous time reaching out to people to network.

@Brian Stone ,The list is only one component, albeit arguably the most important.

I withheld a portion of the tenant's security deposit in part for pet-related carpet cleaning and deep carpet cleaning, which were arguably necessary.

The views of the city from Sandia Peak were amazing and made the background for arguably the best picture of me and my better half...ever....lol. 

I bought a duplex, live in half and rent out the other unit like a couple of other folks on this thread.I think it's arguably one of the best ways to break into REI because I have the advantage of a really trustworthy property manager (myself) for the next year or so.My plan is as follows:1) Get to 20% equity in this property by the end of the year, and refinance out of my FHA mortgage to improve the property's cash flow and move it into an LLC.  

There is arguably more risk investing in a single famIly flIp in Miami Beach right now vs. a 24 unit multifamily in Charlotte, NC.

Your co-worker has established an impermissible method of accounting for the rental by not depreciating for two or more tax years.Therefore, he should NOT file amended returns, but rather a Form 3115 with his next tax return and take a Sec 481(a) adjustment to "catch up" the depreciation.This form is arguably not DIYable.

Arguably a # 1 seed.

If an investor can afford to lockup their money longer term (and arguably all real estate investments should always be allocated to longer-term money) then avoiding a public REIT can let the investor cash in on the liquidity premium and get a higher return.A second way to get diversification on multiple deals is to invest in the feeder fund.
