As an investor in a market where cash flow does not come often and appreciation is a bigger play, I understand your mindset. 

Better play it safe and use a warranty deed instead.Also, later on when you sell your property, it will keep the chain of title cleaner for the next title insurance.Last but not least, a warranty deed does not cost more than a quit claim deed...

If you want to play a passive role, a real estate syndication or debt fund could be a great way to go.

If you’re newer to real estate, role-play scenarios with a mentor or colleague.

With a 3-5% down FHA loan, I snagged a cozy home in a hot spot, worked from home to play handyman, and created a hedge against the "what-ifs" of life.

Should I play harder and get into land development?  

I will move forward with my journey and just follow the positive people in this group that is amazing.I get the Ra RA Ra stuff.. just sometimes reality comes into play.. and its sad to see people run down these rabbit holes.. when those with decades of experience in the industry know better.. just trying to give both sides..   

This one will cash flow a little when we move out but it was a bit more of a long term play for us (5-10) years, so we need the time to make it worth it.

Real Estate is a long term play. 6.

You have to tell people if a toy is broken, missing pieces, or might explode when played with.
