Because it causes one to think about the way they invest, the reasoning behind their investments, and the success and failures their investment tactics and strategies have produced.I make a decision to pursue a real estate investment (or really any investment) based on an evaluation of risk vs return.  

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'm a local real estate broker working in the Cincinnati and Dayton Markets.

I am looking to purchase my first real estate deal.

Many hospitals have staff in place who are in charge of placing traveling professionals.

I would get back to local real estate investor meetups so you can connect with locals to the area and kind of get back in the game slowly that way.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

I'm a single father, been raising my two daughters since they were born, and am ready to start building my wealth through real-estate.

I am starting to get involved with real estate investing, but I am only a college student, so I do not have the income to place a 20% down payment for most properties.

When I began real estate investing, I would have one operating checking account per property.
