The journey to wealth via real estate will have different paths for different investors.

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Purchased in 2015, cash out refinance in 2021 ($100k).

New to real estate investing with a focus on the mulit-family (1-4 residential) space.  

You are not in a real estate business, you’re running a hospitality business.

I own a property in the Disney market and co-host/manage another 25 in the area.Disney I think is a good market if your goals are more aligned with traditional long term real estate goals, and a bad market if your goals are more immediate gratification and short term cash flow.The major benefit of the Disney market is that it's about the safest market you can find from a long-term perspective. 

Purchase price: $10,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Land flip.

PatriciaThe upcoming election seems to bring some volatility and also  hesitation  for real estate investors right now, sometime after November 10th I am sure we can have more clarity on what strategy to use :)

I've done a lot of residential real estate deals including dozens of passive investments and have syndicated four apartment complexes.REITS - These are more akin to stocks than real estate investing and do not come with the tax benefits.

@David Jenkins @Stephen Anderson I totally agree that the Multifamily Investing Academy with Charles Dobens is one of the best Real estate courses out there.
