Unfortunately, the end of 2024 has brought a string of financial challenges for my family, and I’m feeling the pressure.Two weeks ago, I was laid off from my job.

I purchase my personal investments to maximize their equity and hold long term.

I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.

Quote from @Irina Badal: I heard for anonymity purpose it’s advisable to set up a personal residence trust.

@Lauren MerendinoI strongly believe that your chosen market should be somewhere that you can go to in person / have strong personal knowledge of / have family or a network in already.  

Challenges?

Hey @Michelle Baldwin, yes this is a challenge but everyone said it best.Simply, you can just use a different browser to be logged into each VRBO account.I also think that @John Underwoods idea will work as well.

She is not in a position to lend a personal loan to me. 

What are the challenges of passive investing as opposed to traditional real estate investing? 

Real-life reps, to me, means seeing properties in person, whatever your asset class.
