I’m trying to diversify some and build my Retirement Accounts with some stocks.

I've got a mixed use building with a vacant 5200 sg ft. medical space on the first floor.

When you can access the opportunities first, you can qualify the lead first, analyse and find the best deals first, reach out and build rapport first , offer your solution first (rather than having your offer thrown on a pile of others the individual has already been given) and so on.

As more top REITS enter the space the investor will be able to build a diversified portfolio of REITS and not worry that any one REIT will turn into a dog.

Building a strong financial plan, researching markets, assembling a reliable team, and having an exit strategy are essential steps to success.Good luck!

Quote from @Leslie L Meneus: Building Connections & Looking for Guidance in Real EstateHi everyone!

I have my personal emergency fund stored away in a HYSA, and am working to build up a15k property reserve as well, but am conflicted on where to keep that 15k. 

I have a $2M building I bought for $935k, 3.5% down. 

Find someone in the neighborhood of your building to help you out.
