Maybe I'm no longer a low risk bond investor, maybe I'm parking my money in $VOO instead, CRE REITs, or perhaps higher risk higher return bonds. 

But I think any experienced investor would agree that if you aren't doing value-add when it comes to real estate investing, you aren't actually investing.

Best thing you can do is do some research to find a seasoned real estate agent in your area or use Bigger Pockets to ask other members who they had sucess in using. 

one thing is your lending your money way under what private money should charge. unless your just doing your friends a favor..

I'm new to BiggerPockets and to real estate investing.

Hotels are the baby of real estate investing and running a business.Unlike any other commercial asset class, hotels are extremely labor-intensive to run but can spit off ridiculous cash flow.

It included my real name, our real home address, and what was probably a Google voice number.

As we wrap up the year and look ahead to 2025, the real estate market continues to present unique challenges and opportunities for investors, brokers, and lenders alike.

I first got started in real estate investing working for a real estate private equity firm in NYC.

They go to big multifamily conferences and recruit people that are aspiring real estate syndicators to join them.
