I'm not super wealthy, but I do have some spoils of the trade to play with.I live in Malden, and have been educating myself to get into flips and rentals (loving BRRRR) in the area (Melrose, Medford, Malden, Everett, Saugus, Lynn, Stoneham, Reading, Woburn, etc.).I have never officially invested in real estate, but I have owned first and second homes for many moons, and they have been good to me so far.I've learned enough in my studies to know that real estate investment in this area and time is far from a no-brainer. 

I was more on the lines of trading bitcoin for properties and funding rehabs with bitcoin and or bitcoin or crypto currency replacing cash all together.

, most of it is acquired through poker and i do make 5k per month (on avg because you can have like a 10k month but then next month be down like -1k like trading etc.) but it's not considered a real job i have the bank statements to prove to a lender but other then that i'm not sure what direction i should go any advice and posts are appreciated thanks!

I have offered to help on projects since I have some skills in trades, but people don't want someone that can only show up for a few hours a day. 

Good Morning Everyone, New real estate investor who has  a property under contract and is looking to trade ideas on potential routes property can take.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out as the trade wars heat up, snippet of the article below:Chinese investors have become net sellers of U.S. commercial property for the first time in a decade, reflecting China’s crackdown on foreign investment and growing tensions between the U.S. and Chinese governments.After years of binge-buying trophy real estate, Chinese investors sold $1.29 billion worth of property in the second quarter of 2018, according to data firm Real Capital Analytics.

That way you can learn the trade from someone who understands it (without having to re-invent the wheel), while at the same time leaving your own finances out of it.

I have mixed feelings about them as do many seattlites,  but generally speaking they are more organized and better managed than the currently available alternative  (tents,  broken down RV or cars,  or piles of cardboard)   ---   I'd trade a larger tiny house village  for an equal reduction in the number of "unsanctioned" campers in an equal radius of my home  (and investments)  any day.That said,   I do disagree with the "low barrier" ones (which allow drug use/etc). 

I would trade 2 hours of euphoria coming from Journey/Def concert any day for a lifetime of lessons and advice from these two real estate giants.

But there were times I was so tired physically and mentally I HAD to have my friends in certain trades do some work, and they gave me huge breaks on prices.
