It can be very valuable but there’s a lot of nuances.

Time to me is 1000x more valuable than money at this stage of my life and if I would much rather take the money I earned and diversify my portfolio into passive investments because I am too busy in my active life.

Real estate is a fantastic way to build wealth, and your healthcare background likely brings valuable skills like patience, attention to detail, and resilience—all of which translate well here.

I wish I discover BP when I first started investing then I wouldn’t have made some of my mistakes.Honestly though, going through the transaction itself will teach you a lot.

It would also be wise to educate yourself on what a good PM does and doesn't do, how they do it, what they charge and why, etc.My book, The DIY Landlord, will be out in December and can teach you how to select or supervise a property manager.

A business model that has always made sense to me is teaching people how to find good deals and have them bring them to me for more critical evaluation and execution where I invest my capital beside yours.

I think this is generally a good post but, a couple of subjects warrant comment (opinion...which yes, I know how valuable anyone's opinion may or may not be).* In my world (Bank) a "Foreclosure" is a property/loan that has a filed notice (Often referred to as first legal) that a foreclosure has commenced and is somewhere in the foreclosure process between first legal and sale (or post sale redemption).

You don't have to fit into a traditional "avatar" box to bring valuable insight, so don't sell yourself short. :)This is especially true if you rely on furnishedfinder.com as your primary lead source (which you shouldn't, but that's another post) as when you make that connection with a prospective resident, you are selling yourself as a landlord as much as you are the property as a place to live.

If you or anyone else has any comments or questions or if you feel like you have more insight that could be valuable in this situation please reach out to me personally here through PM or at [email protected] Thank you all!!

It was incredibly valuable and helped me grow and become a GP
