That means reading as many real estate books as you can, listen to an endless amount of podcasts, attend as many meetups you can, and try to find a mentor by finding someone doing what you want to do at a large scale and provide them value (expecting nothing in return).

Asking is it worth it is like asking does it taste good – what do you expect it to taste like?

What could I expect to have as current average loan interest rate and points/fees if I am a new accredited investor with excellent credit?

@Minji KimRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Hopefully this gets others who review these forums to reassess their portfolios and formulate more realistic disposition expectations.

If I was an investor financing the remaining 29% - 19%, I personally would expect my equity split to be reflective of such. 

You’ll want to consider the purchase price, HOA fees, taxes, insurance, and the rental income you can realistically expect.

No thanks.So I really have been interested in passively investing in good deals with experienced sponsors, but want to set my expectations to be realistic and right for this. 

I have had theft and windows broken in, squaters staying in the back shed.

How much do you have to invest and what returns are you expecting to see?
