Our aim to is make the investing journey more enjoyable by sharing direct feedback about what’s happening on the ground, actionable investing intel, real estate references, among other things that make investing not seem soo alien, tedious, worrisome, or out of reach.

Bonus points if they can refer you to reputable contractors in the area.

It's no different than those who hold stocks, then need to liquidate to purchase items.
