Individuals can invest in private real estate by acquiring assets actively as a direct buyer, or passively with a private real estate investment firm, an online crowdfunding website or a non-traded private Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT, which is not exchanged-traded and subject to market volatility.But three things are not confusing: the main benefits of investing in private real estate.

with no history of investing, you best option will be to purchase a property as owner occupant and house hack. this is the main way people make purchases under 20%. in fact, most banks want 25% for investment property. you will find that any loans under 20% are going to be almost exclusively for owner occupied properties

:)There is one main REIA in town Memphis Investment Group (MIG). 

If you use it for a bunch of other things, that would be a huge PITASome people advocate a separate account for each property (which I think would be a huge pain) but I guess this is the main reason whyDepending on the state and judge, once you accept partial payment, it changes what you can legally do since you technically agreed to a "payment plan" on what he owes you

On the list side, your main job is pricing properly and coordinating showings and offers, which is even easier because a flipped property will be vacant and you are the owner so you don't have to present an offer to anyone but yourself.

Sorry, I could not resist.Seriously, the main points are simple.

This is mainly the reason for the move, I was initially looking to stay in NWI but our market has heated up and I feel like I'd be paying alot more for less at this point. 

I got my first via savings and a little cash from refinancing my main home.

I could arrange the meetings remotely but the main problem is that agents will for sure answer to either me or potential buyer with feedbacks like the following quoted ones are (i repeat again: those are assumed verbal feedbacks the RE agent or broker could say to me or to potential buyer - they would prevent the possibility of me coming in the middle of them): "I am not legally allowed to try to sell the RE for different price comparing to the price I clearly stated on our agency's website""There is no way I could mention your name to the potential buyer as owner of the RE if you are not.

Problem is there is not a huge supply of larger inventory.
