So if you are using brokerage account to buy/trade some stocks and invest in trust deeds - this might be a good fit.

I enjoyed what I did building cool bridges and hotels, but I was not too fond of the daily in and our grind.Jumping ship has brought bigger challenges, but I am happier tackling them with people I love working with.With respect to real estate & being a landlord, it's honestly something I do NOT ENJOY that much either (dealing with HOAs, repairs, vacancy, etc.)...unless you can buy properties and completely offload the property management, which was and is hard for me to do with my scarcity mindset. 

Buyers must now enter into a contract with an agent before that agent can show them any propertiesInstead what this should read is: "Prior to showing properties, Buyers must sign either a Brokerage Disclosure to Buyer (BD-24) OR an exclusive right-to-buy listing contract."

We supply loan quotes all day long to investors that buy & rehab 1-4 unit properties and 5-10 unit properties (including mixed use in all of those unit sizes).

But I'm a buy and hold owner operator type guy.     

@Tony Sherman, yes.Closing delays on buy side with title issuesMaterial delays, which can compound into contractor delays when you try to keep schedules tightContractor delays because prior jobs are not wrapping on timeContractor delays because you need to fire one and hire a new oneScope of work issues, i.e. no signs of moisture intrusion prior to buying, but all of a sudden you have a wet floor after a good hard rain.Closing issues on sale sideHow do you manage?  

For some reason I only see 5 or 7-year target sell, perhaps there is a reason no syndication want to buy & hold forever?

They can buy their own meal. 

I personally only buy vacation rentals in areas I want to take the family on vacation.This is not TX for me.
