Hey all! Introducing myself here; I am a former biotech scientist turned to real estate professional. I interact with first time house hackers / seasoned investors on a daily basis. Wanna know what they have in common...

Real estate investment is my future.This amazing voyage begins with setting personal goals and vision.

I'd love to connect and hear more about your investment goals and criteria.

I own 12-doors there and help others invest there for a living.Of my 12-doors, 4 of them are comprised of two duplexes.

Congrats on this investment!

Here is my list of the most dangerous real estate related investments for the “non professional” investor lacking direct knowledge  and experience in these investments 1.

Hard money and private investing are both ways to finance flips, but they work a little differently.Hard money loans are typically from companies or private lenders that specialize in short-term, high-interest loans.

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

I live in Oregon, but invest in Arizona.
