@James Gleeson“put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.”Andrew Carengie

Intelligence knows a tomato is a fruit.

Here are the fruits of my labor - currently wrapping up my first flip (new retaining wall + Texas monsoon season + large hill = a mess...will share in a separate thread). 

Fun to see the fruits of hard labor!  

I want to put my eggs into several baskets, because why not?

I understand that it will take time for these actions to be fruitful.

All things that are worth taking into account, and being early to know about them might mean the opportunity to pick some low-hanging fruit in buying a property that may otherwise not seem too appealing!

Tenant shall refrain from disposing of things such as grease, bones, coffee grounds, orange peels, celery, corn husks, asparagus, egg shells, fruit pits, potato peels, or the like down the garbage disposal in kitchen.

To reiterate, 1) education is the key. reading books (I have a whole library. need a link, PM me) and listening to podcast is as important as actually doing it as well as networking with other investors in your/your friend area of interest. real estate investing entails tons of niches, so finding the one (or several) that suit your and your friend's interests and goals is your primary objective and then concentrating on learning in detail about it.2) diversification is a must. just like the old saying goes, don't put all eggs in one basket, especially since it's new to her. this entails, potentially splitting the funds between RE and the stock market (like mutual funds, etf's. consider using some robo advisers).Good luck!

Potatoes grow underground, which means you can’t see if the plant is bearing fruit.
