Just heard of this group today from Bryan Field. I am new to real estate and starting my journey to set up and build a real estate portfolio that I can pass on to my children. I am still in the beginning/research phas...

For a fact, they have a "postal address" (they do NOT name it "business" address, notice that... and btw, this is a bought virtual address, look it up, and y'all shall find plenty in the sea, and please, do not spend $1,000 or whatever, or worse, your precious, billable time = money on it. 

This could mean buying stocks, bonds, real estate, contributing to one’s 401k, hiring a financial advisor (I hope not), fine art, crypto, collectables, classic cars, or investing in someone else’s fund, to name most.I chose real estate (w/ some stocks and crypto too).

If you haven't already, look into insurance relocations. 3/2s and above are the sweet spot if the property itself is really nice and in a good neighborhood.

And the long term is going to be really solid.Right now, the 1 bedroom 850 to 1,000 sq ft cabins are the sweet spot. 

I have found that their sweet spot is after you have flipped 2 properties, as they have a number of programs (Zero Gravity, Double-Double, and standard) that can suit your deal and what you need at that time.Happy to help navigate it if you are needing some help breaking them down.Good luck!

There are options out there but it definitely won't be as sweet as deals with higher loan amount that are purchases (bridge is more limiting than purchases).

i keep seeing:1. buy out of state rental in a solid neighborhood with long-term potential (just as you are recommending) but then...2. have one rough tenant turn that costs a couple grand, and3. give up on real estate investing, and turn on everyone involved in the transaction for not guaranteeing that sweet cash flow in month 1 lol, yea there is a decent chunk of investors who get really butthurt by that one bad unit turn and just give up.

Investment properties prove to be more challenging, but not impossible when titled in your own name.  

Bonus question: Should I execute the leases under the business name and tenant’s name, or should the leases be in my personal name and the tenant’s name, considering the loan is in my name?
