Welcome @Anthony Tortorello a lot of very intelligent investors in this feed, soak it up.Good luck in your adventure.

You can also soak up as much information from them as possible and see what the successful ones do and what the unsuccessful ones do. 

I'm constantly reading, learning, soaking up any information I can.

I’ve been interested in real estate for a few months now and have been reading books and soaking up information.

They are not partners, I am simply using their capital to help seed my hard money loan and/or for repairs.I would like to hear what returns other investors are giving their family members on these types of deals. 

If I'm not mistaken, his stock portfolio seed money back in the 50's was from his in-laws leaving some inheritance for him and my Grandma. 

real estate is anything but no work  yes limited to no physical work but to be able to live off of your investments takes time and frankly more seed capital. but the biggest bang for your buck with 100k is going to be using it as a downpayment and do fix and flip... but you need to be very cautious.depending on your market this could be one or two flips that would make 20 to 30k each and you could do two a year.not sure if 40 to 60k a year income would do it for you.. some it will some it wont.. rentals NO way no how not in todays markets..at least to start.you could do the BRRR pay cash and refi.. but yoiu need a job and great income to refi.. ?

Double sink, soaking tub, 7 foot tall shower, double outlets on each side, and you're gold.   

The plan now is to be a sponge and soak up as much knowledge as possible to make us more prepared when that time comes! 

My goals for the next year are to be a sponge and soak up as much information from the BP world, put together a business/action plan and make my first investment.
