I am still a rookie in real estate investing and am looking for some insight.

Hey @Nicole Farley,Congrats on diving into the real estate game!

I am weighing the option of starting my real estate investment strategy in a RE Syndicate OR in 2-5 unit rental units.

Check out profit first and profit first for real estate investors for more info on those accounts.Send me a dm if you or anyone else has a question.

You can find great 2-4 unit buildings at reasonable prices (compared to New York City), and many of them need to be fixed up, which is an added bonus of equity if you are willing to tackle a renovation.I'd suggest somewhere along the blue line (train) in the northwest part of the city, where you can find some priceless neighborhood vibes.Plus, the real estate community is unmatchable...tons of people willing to give you a hand up.

There's a real attachment to furniture pieces.

Having a system tailored to real estate investing and doing everything I would want a bookkeeping system to do has made the financial information I have much more accurate and timely.

This steady income has become a reliable part of my investment portfolio, demonstrating the financial benefits of a well-executed real estate strategy.Reflection:Looking back, this investment has been a rewarding journey of vision, effort, and strategic planning.

As with any Real Estate purchase, you need to read the documents carefully.

Don't throw it all into real estate.
