Build a nest egg so your first investment doesn't wipe you out.

I would prefer not to keep all my eggs in one basket.

Quote from @Miguel Del Mazo: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” is all wrong.

Just because I am bullish on bitcoin doesn’t mean I’m going to put all my eggs in that basket.

I dont' think this is any different than wholesaling- it's a chicken or the egg thing.

You have all your eggs in the appreciation basket.  

There's also non fraudulent, just poorly managed that needs an egg dropped on them too just not on the Wall of Shame like Open Door. 

You buy the property, you give the tenant notice of a pending increase, they pack up and leave, then you spruce it up and rent it at market rate so it's a profitable investment.When egg prices double, do you think the local grocer cries in his coffee every morning about how inflation is impacting his customers?

I would warn however that if you are thinking of signing up you should make sure you have money not just for the class but to actually purchase a note(s) as well.For the Non Performing side I would recommend having 40-50k set aside to invest so you can build a portfolio, different loans will work out over differant time frames and you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.

Just like you, she can do RE as a side gig and learn a lot more while she keeps her own nest egg going and her lendability strong with a regular job.You should loop her into a major document with all of the properties and all of the profit and loss and go through them one by one and talk about whether to sell or keep, and also base it on geography for her and your collective choice of management.
