Once youve got a few months of experience and everything is stable, start looking for the next one.

Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Hello,real estate investors,I have a question for those with experience pulling home equity to fund new investments.

Sinistar has been asked about before here, but I don't remember anyone having direct experience with them.

There's obviously quite a bit of diligence that comes after such as who the key principles are and their credentials/track record (both balance sheet and experience), the underlying real estate and thesis behind the investment & tax prep and audit procedures but as a general rule of thumb if the investor can't get past the first part which is understanding what they are investing in, passive investing is probably not for that individual. 

What’s been your experience?

My day job is being a financial professional, so I have good experience with underwriting and sales that I believe can be translated to real estate.

I'm on the hunt for real estate meetups to expand my experience and network, but I must not be looking in the right places.

I made a few thousand less than expected but I figure that's just the cost of doing business sometimes.Based on my experience I wouldn't let the remote possibility that a homeowner might go into greed mode dissuade you from doing these deals.

That's probably what I'd do first unless you just have no experience doing these deals at all. 

My only experience with real estate was my father being a property manager (something I didn’t want to do).
