I've invested, buy & hold and built in the carolinas and Phoenix to me is much easier.

hey David,As a broker, I have several options if you're looking to only touch the equity in a second position lien on investment property. 

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

You could then choose a broad based index fund if you wanted to invest in the market.

Additionally, if he’s legally and financially tied to the property, it might limit his flexibility if he wants to make major life changes, like moving or starting his own investment ventures.Ultimately, the decision depends on how involved you want him to be in the financial side of the property and how much risk he’s willing to take. 

I started investing in RE when I was 26.
