So whether you have your money in real estate, P2P, notes, ETFs, bitcoin or stocks, I just want to emphasize the obvious lesson to readers - always ask yourself what happens if your expectation on timelines are wrong, and what will you do if your main exit strategy is no longer possible.

I am new to the real estate too and still learning all the terms and such (was a stock day/swing trader wanting a more passive income) so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

That's like saying day traders aren't investors.

As a stock and options trader I had to think about that in the Daily term and right now I am a Futures trader using the shortest term trading method.

@Curtis CurleyMy answer is invest in bitcoin.

I have been considering this for the following reasons:- The cost of $245 for the test seems very reasonable given the substantial increase in returns compared to a REIT- The risk of investing in a RE syndication as a debt investor or even equity seems very low compared to the stock market or other asset classes right now - I would hope that studying for a series 7 would make someone a smarter investorAs a side note, how is it considered too risky for the average investor to invest in a real estate backed investment but investing in Bitcoin or Dogecoin is considered safe for the general public? 

How long is the cooling off period between capital raises to avoid being tagged as a trader and requiring licensing?

My Dad and I have a financial market background- he's been a Stocks/Commodities/Currency trader and Money Manager since the 90s.

Better than bit coins for prison barter.

Your COC is essentially the metric to use when comparing RE investing vs other asset classes. 100K cash into a home, or 100K into gold, bitcoin, Vanguard, etc.
