If you make the commitment to real estate you can for sure do both and win. 

No person owning or having the care, custody, or control of any dog or cat shall permit said dog or cat to soil or defile or commit any nuisance upon any sidewalk, street, thoroughfare, wetland, in or upon public property or in or upon the property of persons other than the owner or persons having the care, custody, or control of such dog or cat, unless said person picks up any such waste and disposes of it in a sanitary manner.

I sure would there is no way of knowing if you can get Title insurance on the property until you get the commitment yourself .any future buyer will not close with out title insurance .Being in the Title insurance business I just had a client with a similar situation who did not insure  and is down the road now after purchase trying to insure.Best of luck jacob

These days I'd rather sign a standard FNMA Note and Deed of Trust and pay a higher rate, if I have to, than get the cheapest money while having to commit my firstborn. 

I'm not sure how much capital you'd commit, but they probably wouldn't entertain less than $50-150 million.

My husband and I recently made the commitment to start investing in real estate and have really been face first into all the books, podcasts, YouTube videos and articles lately.

Hello All,My wife and I are new to REI, but are committing and we want to start with a vacation rental. 

I’m not looking to join a team, since I wouldn’t be able to properly leverage the benefits with my limited time commitment at the moment.

He is my friend's husband and he knows I have a group of investors committed so he hopes to get me help him for his plan to find a land in Ontario, CA and build the distribution warehouse and he will sell it later once its built.

We talked on the phone, he told me the details, and within about 5 minutes I committed to it.
