The vast majority of your wealth gain in real estate will be by holding properties long term and the appreciation/principal paydown will slowly but surely help you become wealthy.For 90% plus of people out there who are looking to start, house hacking is the best way to go.

I'm trying to find the best way to connect with real estate investors.  

.: First understand that people lie, oops I mean, "fake it 'til they make it"It doesn't matter if it's number of units, SubTo deals, net worth, number of doors, or any measurement of success.

You can also check with credit unions specializing in real estate financing or work with a mortgage broker who may have connections with lenders familiar with land trusts.

Make sure to have a good CPA that understands real estate investment.

Probably more like 99.5%.I acknowledge that the commercial real estate scene is a group of business people who are much more polished, sophisticated, and high net worth (compared to residential).

It really depends on where you want to take your real estate investing.

Quote from @Robert Ellis: Has anyone here successfully raised over $1M in equity for a real estate deal using an online platform?

@Seona JoungThe real estate market in Houston has many options for investors.

That’s an enormous achievement, and I wish you all the best as you start your real estate journey.
