You want to learn from people who are spending most of their time actually doing deals, not marketing their courses.Being resourceful will get you far in the real estate industry.

Quote from @Kieron Osullivan: Quote from @Hana Kooker: Hey everyone,I’ve been working on building software to automate the process of collecting and organizing data from public records searches and maintains a database of real estate wholesaling leads. 

Lenders often require 30-40% down.Cash flow considerations – Since all expenses must be paid from your IRA, maintain liquidity to cover unexpected costs like repairs and vacancies.Rental properties vs. commercial deals – Residential rentals and commercial properties can both be great options, but keep in mind management complexity and income stability.Generally speaking, stay compliant – Avoid prohibited transactions, such as personally guaranteeing a loan, living in or personally managing a property, or transacting with disqualified persons (yourself, spouse, ascendants, or descendants).Diversify your portfolio – While syndications and real estate are great, consider mixing in other alternative assets like private lending, tax liens, or even notes for additional risk management.Work with the right custodian – Make sure your SDIRA custodian is well-versed in alternative investments and has experience handling syndications and non-recourse financing.If you’re looking for specific lenders who offer non-recourse loans, I’d be happy to point you in the right direction.

Hey Raymond, welcome to the Forums.Wishing you success in your real estate journey!

Home values are rising, which means your investment starts growing as soon as you buy.Let’s put real numbers into this equation.

Would love to connect with you and discuss anything real estate in Nova Scotia! 

I’m looking for a real estate agent with expertise in short-term rental (STR).

OR am I thinking about this wrong and are there other instruments or assets I should be looking at to get exposure to real estate more passively?

Been in commercial real estate 21 plus years and a specialist in NNN.Investors getting started look at dollar stores as they are often only investment grade tenants in those tiny price points. 1 million dollar NNN like 100k house.

Even if a software is free or cheap, it's the time investment getting things set up and then tweaking it for the first few months that is the real "spend".
