No, be smart about it, get an education, no matter how easy or fun anyone makes R.E.I to appear, its hard work, takes capital...And more importantly it takes time to be to sucessful, unless you have a pot of gold to push you faster...For me i love real estate, i live it breathe it,eat it and sleep it....make sure this isnt just a faze, or you watched to many episodes of flip this house, now its got you excited, be sure you love it before you choose to throw away an education.

On top of that, what if all of a sudden you need a new roof, or windows, or a sewer line, or the irrigation system freezes, leaks and floods the basement, or a fire guts the place and your insurance only covers some of the vacancy/rebuild costs, or a flood washes it away and you didn't have flood insurance, or your tenant stops paying and their estranged lover/stiffed drug dealer breaks in and destroys the place, or any one of a myriad possible bad things happens because you have an investment that hinges upon human behavior, and therefor needs constant baby sitting, and 5 years of your glorious $500/month is wiped out in one afternoon, and the bank takes the property?

Richard Evanns Determining good mid term rental market
23 June 2023 | 4 replies
