To all the experienced investors out thereIf you were to go back in time and talk to your aspiring real estate investor self, finish any of these sentences.

My wife and I plan to move to a bigger house next year and I'm undecided whether to sell the townhouse, invest the proceeds in a syndication or keep the townhouse as a rental and self manage.

Is anyone working with  Self Directed IRAs?

The reason for this actually goes into some of the other common factors.At the moment I own my primary residence and 4 rental properties with 10 total units, putting me dead center in mom and pop territory.They Are Self FundedMom and pop investors in general fund their real estate acquisitions using their own money.

It is about 10 mins away from where i live and would be self managed. 

I am a 20 year old with a passion for real estate investing and want to know where would you be if you had started at age 20 and what would you say to your younger self to make them take the leap??

I’m self employed, and looking to purchase my first rental in Mid Michigan.

I renovated the live-in before I rented it, so very low hassle- permitted me to self-manage from a distance.

@Tara KinneyWhile I am not self-employed like you.

My husband's name is not on our house because I bought it before we were together, so we can't use his income even though his income is sufficient to pay our bills.
