Before committing, consider: 1.

Haven't committed yet.If any of you have, I'd love to connect...

Some buyers enter these agreements without fully understanding the financial commitment, often influenced by overly optimistic advice.

I'm a 100% committed student of the real estate industry.

@Micah Huffman unless you are going to commit to learning some basics about being a landlord AND are willing to commit at least 2-4 hours each month managing a Property Management Company - it's probably best you sell.Otherwise, it's highly likely you could lose more due to bad tenants and management.

Luckily 2 got back to us and 1 of them was ready to sell but emotionally was struggling to make the commitment.

"The market power of our investors reflects the depth of commitment to the success of this exchange, not just in the early years but over the next decade and beyond."

I'd like to be fairly hands-off due to daily work commitments, and looking for something that doesn't involve a ton of risk.

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

But if real estate investing is your priority, it’s important to consider all the costs and timelines before committing to an IUL.
