Do you call your mutual fund company and tell them what to invest in? 

Investment Info:Condo fix & flip investment.

Personally what type of investment is this?

Knowledge is power and for me, it builds my self-confidence so I’ve been bingeing podcasts, books and also recently gotten my real estate license so that I could have a better understanding of real estate in and of itself, with the hope of building upon that basic knowledge with what I’ve been learning about in real estate investing.

If you're going to invest out of state, look into 3-5 different markets that interest you and research them and their drivers.

@Minji KimRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Investment Info:Other buy & hold investment.

If you’re going to be doing land deals, consider opening a business checking account; it’ll keep your personal and investment expenses separate, which can help a ton when tax season rolls around.

I am wanting to start real estate investing to become financially free in the future.

I’m a former college baseball player and retired professional ballroom dancer, with a passion for entrepreneurship and real estate investment.
