Quote from @Kaleb Johnson: Hey guys, I am a real estate agent looking to get into property investing.

Tough to answer due to so many feelings about risk tolerances and what other investments could be making you as a ROI.I feel leverage of real estate is the real strength of this asset.  

I used the funds to acquire real estate that appreciated signficantly.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Robert Adams: As we move into February, the Las Vegas real estate market is showing positive signs of recovery after the holidays and the conclusion of the presidential election cycle.

There is a pretty big real estate investors group in the Hartford area.

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

I am currently studying to get my real estate license in the state of PA and plan on buying my first investment property in the next couple months.

Quote from @Mary Holland: I'd love to hear about your experiences and how they compare to other types of commercial real estate financing.

As @Chris Seveney there are lots of buyers for the real estate backed notes but fewer for the business only notes (without real estate as collateral). 

@Joel Bongco how do you go about setting it up for real estate investors?
