.: Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I think it lies in that a lot of service providers in the real estate space are incentivized(money wise) to promote thier business.Real Estate agents are a small business, the more clients they have, the more money they make.Property managers are a small business, the more clients they have, the more money they make.Lenders, correct me if im wrong, are tied to some sort of bonus structure, the more loans they generate, the more money they make.More promotion leads to more awareness which leads to more money With all do respect I think REA's are commissioned sales people.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

You have to earn a mentor by showing up a lot and then your mentor will appear.

In any event you can see what the SEC thinks of modernization here:https://www.sec.gov/news/press...I have read of late that small family offices can pool non-accredited investor money to qualify that entity as an accredited investor. 

And management is a LOT more intense, just turnover rates alone!

Your reading of that section isn't exactly what I would take away.

Spend MORE money, spend more time, have more people yell at you and threaten you. 

If you wanted to earn $200k to live on at a W2 job....you'd need to earn significantly more because you'd have to pay income taxes, and payroll taxes on the income; where as taking on debt isn't taxable at all.
