Limit the exposure by having intentional relationships and removing negative people from your circle but know this comes with the journey. 

Of course it has its benefits too, but you have to do it full time in order to get good at it and have enough exposure to really understand the market.I love working on cars too, but just because I have done a few things I am far away from your skill lever as a full time mechanic.

You'll make an invaluable connection, you may find opportunities to partner, and you'll gain exposure to their network.

If you are with a smaller company they may not want the exposure.

I'd highly recommend limiting your exposure to giving away equity both for the building and your business.

@Justine SpencerWhen you start, entities are not essential, unless you have a particularly high exposure to legal liability - which is an attorney's call, and I'm not one.If you do decide to go with an entity, pretty much every time it is an LLC.

I’d recommend starting as a LP investor which will give you enough exposure to see whether or not you see value in becoming more active in the future.

Just need more exposure j suppose

As a finance major, I only skimmed the surface of Real Estate, but want to continue to gain more exposure.

With this plan, you give yourself the exposure and time to learn....
