Moving and buying your first piece of real estate is a lot in the next year!

Yes of course there are people who think tokenization is cool and you can get some $ from it, but to grow it at scale - real estate is old school and most who invest six figures in real estate are not 25 years old and are not keen on tokenization.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Quote from @Joel Bechtel: The agent I spoke with has about 30 years of insurance experience, so I’d hope she knows what she’s talking about and what she’s offering.I have another policy with Allstate for my 6-unit property, which they were able to insure for approximately $890K because the replacement cost came in under $1M.

Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms.

And someone jumping into this as a complete newbie can expect that they have a decent chance of making some expensive newbie mistakes. 3) On the other hand, I feel one of the main advantages of passive investments (via syndication/crowdfunding) is that I can hire a manager who has years more experience than I can ever hope to obtain myself.

My basic underwriting making some standard assumptions on HOA expenses, 20% down, 7% interest rate, 30 year mortgage, utilities, supplies, and maintenance costs shows a loss of about $22k per year if you are self managing.
