Nobody ever went broke over a duplex, I know this now,  but I have to admit I had some serious doubts about this when I started 16 years ago, I bought every course I could find, already on CD's, this was post cassette tapes lol, and I paid RichDad Education for a one year coaching program (turned out my coach was a girl in a call center without any actual experience). 

I was talking to my brother on the phone and would like to get others educated opinions on the matter.

My husband and I are licensed financial professionals and we love to educate on IULʻs or different types of policies that can assist in situations such as these! 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Am excited to venture into wholesaling and I've been educating myself on terms, technique, and form of going about it. 

Common syndicator game of throwing out huge returns when other funds are going under because they want you to only look at that shiny number and not what their past performance has been@Chris Seveney 25.7% Annualized Return / 21.7% IRR.This was my first passive investment and yes I was under educated, naive and attracted by the expressed returns. 

They take a lot of nurturing, educating and patience.

I am reading a bunch of real estate investing books , talking to realtors & loan officers, and trying to educate myself best I can.I'm also looking to expand my network within the real estate investing community, and I believe this is a great opportunity to connect.
