And the insurance companies got screwed.

I will be start out on my real estate journey soon by working for a company and sourcing deals for them.

Some manufacturered companies treat it as personal property not real property.

I would reach out to the Property Management Company because their portfolio of properties includes the investors that own the properties.

That's the reason there are so many fourplexes and so few fiveplexes or even sixplexes.From what I gather, post offices and utility companies rarely care much about the permitting/zoning issues, so it probably wouldn't have been hard to get those set up.

Of course, you would need to do your own research and due diligence when purchasing a company but perhaps that's a way to get involved in the trades in the owners seat.

I don't think it is a bad idea to find work in real estate somehow as it will allow you to be comfortable with being around it in general, such as a property management company.

Unless an investor uses a non-recourse loan the liability remains with the owner personally vs in the DST and invested into other large stock exchange companies which have the liability.6) Convert an illiquid asset, like a business, primary home, art, collectibles or commercial real estate, into a diversified portfolio of liquid investments.

For out-of-state investing, find a trustworthy property management company and network with local real estate investor groups.

Where do you expect to receive the money to buy out your "partners" in these companies as you drive returns into the ground?
