Safeguard reached out to me when I was in my mid 60s, and offered lending notes secured by real estate. 

Part of me is considering buying more real estate though.

VA Loan Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

We decided to invest into real estate in our early 30s.

If you’re interested in investing in real estate, you can consider doing so with a Self-Directed IRA to defer taxes on capital gains until you actually withdraw the funds from your IRA.

You can usually request this from a title company or look into public records in your county’s clerk or recorder’s office.If you’re not sure how to navigate this, contacting the auction house or a real estate attorney familiar with foreclosure auctions can help ensure there aren’t surprises.

What you have described sounds like a real estate  race to the bottom and you will be in the lead .

@Michelle Wang Ever hear: "If you think YOU CAN or You think YOU CAN'T, YOU'RE RIGHT"IMHO I've found this to be true in Real Estate Investing.

I started as a real estate investor in Philly, but was disappointed with the GC's a subs I was finding. 

I recently took a leap of faith and invested in a mentorship program with Tom Zeeb and his Total Traction Real Estate Mentors program.
