For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).

The biggest difference to me is that YOU have control of every aspect of an active investment, while somebody else is in “control” of a passive investment.  

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.

Riverside is home to the Inland Empire Real Estate Investment Club/FireCenter that has a lot of great people involved in all aspects of real estate.Hope this helps!

While I’m not an expert on the legal aspects of posting here, I do have years of experience coaching students in real estate sales and investing.For anyone getting started in real estate, I always emphasize the importance of focusing on key steps before committing to a deal.

These details and the creative aspect of an STR seem like they will be an exciting avenue.

I'm struggling to understand some aspects of your response, but it provides some things to think about.

Reeti, Great idea in checking on this aspect of the process.
