Learning that I prefer money invested in real estate over money sitting in the bank... don't we all?!

While many of these partnerships can be fruitful, some turn out to be less successful, with unfortunate outcomes that could have been prevented with proper planning and safeguards.For instance, we recently encountered a case involving an investor, or "money partner," who contributed $650,000 to a real estate deal facilitated by another investor, the "developer."

Hang out with others that are doing what you want to do and invest your $25-$50,000 in real estate vs education. 

To connect with potential partners, consider attending local real estate investor meetups where you can network with those looking to invest passively.If you’d like to explore HM financing options, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat!

@Adeel MakdaRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

If it's something you want long-term it may be best to get the real deal but it's been cost effective for me to offer without the big commitment. 

I get that sharing a house isn't ideal but some people love the house hacking approach.Personally, if I own one piece of real estate, I want it to be the one I live in.

I've sold several homes in this area for my real estate clients too, and they've all been happy up here. 

I am a local real estate investor and own a local real estate/property management company.
