It's not only that the majority of people don't know how to invest in RE, but also that they don't even know they can do it.As far as my entourage is concerned, for a majority of folks, investing in RE is synonymous to stock speculation.

I'll speculate.

There is also a lot of instability with some laws which has caused a lot of speculation issues.

Thought I'm brand new to RE and I'm thinking that I'm inclined to agree with Federico, I think I'd leave the likelihood of a tenant suing up to a tenant, not speculation.  

It's all too speculative for my taste, personally.

Removing the pool may cause ground issues to the house and or neighborhood but it wasn’t  proven but vendors speculated things could be a problem. .

I have finally decided that I'd like to start building a passive income - this has led me to the idea of buy and hold Rental properties as the stock market seems more speculation/appreciation based.Question is, what is a realistic expectation for CASH on CASH % return?  

Although we are hesitant to speculate as to why RealtyShares may be shutting down, I think it's worthwhile to note that we ultimately operate very different business models.

Maybe someday someone will offer me a large sum of money for the various funny/pun/joke URLs I've claimed over time, making it more "e-land speculation" than any sort of legit investment strategy.My understanding is it will not impact the SEO of the website with actual content either way. 

I am seeing buyers overpay because agents are driving the craze of speculation in neighborhoods that have zero long-term sustainability.
