I want to say this upfront so it is understood that I am not promoting anyone who has paid me money.If I was going to invest in MF passively, I would start with Crowdstreet - Darren Powderly (the many in charge over there) is a CCIM that understands the space.

This could become problematic if people jump to the last post without reading through the other posts and end up posting their version of the same thing that was already posted many times before.The most prominent feature of this version is the right hand column which promotes the BP Blog, the books, and the next webinar.

At the same time he is clearly promoting his own material throughout while criticizing others for doing the same.

I have a question for those who promote purchasing their own materials.

@Tom Jimenez@Ramon Fyffe and Account Closed are referring to taking a participant loan from your 401k so that you can purchase real estate as opposed to actually investing your 401k into real estate.Lots of folks here on BP - service providers wanting to sell plans with the lure of "easy cash" and people who are simply investors - promote the participant 401k loan as a great kick-start for investing in real estate.  

Continue with your self promotion and hit social media with that 3% to ANYONE who brings a buyer.

I understand promoting myself and relationships are a big key....I'm just wondering how much of that I need to have in place before I begin.

Our ultimate goal is to launch our own website to promote/book our VR properties. 

:mrgreen: (please do not remove, I am not promoting this site)

Uncle Sam recognized this long ago and as an incentive to promote ownership of real estate, he provided tax advantages for those who hold properties and dispose of it too.
