If your a flipper I would limit the exposure to number of simultaneous flips going on at the same time.This all depends on if your buying cash or getting a mortgage.I personally took the money I was going to buy a property with and I bought gold 1oz maple leafs and 1oz silver eagles.

Massive marketing equals massive exposure.

3) Do as 80% of Chicago landlords do and rent the unitPRO's-Could earn $700/mon or more-Little to no renovations neededCON's-VERY RISKY-Major exposure if fire occurs in unit, as insurance would likely not cover property or personal protection-Enforcement of contract on illegal unit and unpaid rent============================================Anyone have any other ideas.

I've only been on Quora for a week, but it appears the exposure is pretty good!

I believe If I focus on Multi-Family properties here at work and get exposure to the trade I can get incredible amount of experience to prepare me for investing in the near future.

I often break it down into the "five pillars" of protecting your assets.1st pillar is avoiding unnecessary and risky activities (don't drink and drive, insurance generally won’t cover your poor decisions) and take good care of your investments - these simple steps will help you prevent lawsuits before they even occur.2nd pillar is a good insurance policy as that cover the majority of your exposure.

Other than that if you are hard pressed for time to manage your rental and want exposure on major sites Evolve is great for the cost. 

You can also gain exposure by creating a meetup on www.meetup.com.  

Guess it comes down to exposure and liability, thanks for the tip @Albert Bui@Brooks Rembert has a good point, especially if ARV or contingency rehab costs change/increase while on the project.  

I have limited my exposure to banks so far in my real estate indevors but to take it to the next step I feel like I have to.
