@Brian Burke Your more of an honest man, than a salesman.It’s great that (IMO) the most trusted Syndicator/Operator on here is saying to diversify across other assets.Brian you are in it for the long game and that is why people trust you.

Can’t watch a show or game without seeing Booking.com ads.

The rental game is funny in that you want to responsible enough to always make rent, but not successful enough to easily afford buying a house.

Use next 4-6 months to learn by listening, reading and watching how the real estate investment game works.

It's definitely easier to find a cash flowing property in Midwest but I am of the opinion that cashflow in real estate keeps you in the game but appreciation is where you build wealth.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Francisco AvancenaThere are specific lenders who will do land dealsBut of course not as many as traditional real estate.The key will be skin in the game - typically for land because it is less liquid than a home the lender will want to have a lower ltv on the deal I fund land flippers currently in  CO FLA WA ID MT NV AZ OR TX SC GA VA  one thing about land though LTV is lower and RATES are NOT the same as typical HML rates are higher for raw land but its a specialty niche and a business that I grew up in..

Hopefully, 2025 will reward us all who have stayed in the game. 

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

I was at the airport this past week flying to visit family and in TSA precheck line they scan your license in a machine and take a photo of you. for some reason mine was not working and it basically had like an alert on it. they ask me if I have another form of ID on me.

Many sellers will not accept this since they are in second position, and it is very risky since if you default (higher probability for investors with no money and/or no skin in the game), they will most likely be wiped out during a foreclosure.
