and low maintenance beat the wear-and-tear headaches of big properties.

I guess I am not sure what your goal is, but I guess funding capital improvements is one way to get involved in CRE, but like Don noted, if you don't understand the concepts of investing nor the specific risks of any of those options, then you are not investing, you are gambling at best, and throwing money and time away at worst.I.e. a quick search of Cincinnati for industrial properties under $300k, and I have about a dozen. 

As of 2023, if a single-family home was worth $150,000 in 2019, its appreciation rate could vary significantly from that of a multifamily property bought for a similar price.To break it down further, let's assume both property types appreciated over the years.

You can speed up the time considerably (that takes money) by having someone take you hand in hand all the way to the purchasing and managing of properties.

Our process is to initially get to know them face-to-face, by meeting a few times over lunch or dinner and even walking a few of their properties.

I would like to market my fully renovated and consistent income generating property as a turn key investment to a busy investor.

what would you think of a 14,600sqft 3 unit property in sailboat bend, off market, that is RMM25 zoned and has a nice single family and duplex behind it, half of the lot if empty so it can be developed or RV/trailer parking, for $1.1M?

doing a bad deal just to have done a deal will set your finances and your relationship back.

Usually that means they need to own real estate because a unpaid judgement can be made into a lien on their property and that makes eventual payment MUCH more likely. 5.

Hey @Samantha Bartlett - Can you clarify exactly what you mean by buy a property for your child?
