But I am involved more in multifamily and hotel resort investing now.  

It involves much more than collecting rent or throwing up a Craigslist ad every blue moon.

You mention not a fan of landlording, great, the bank never get's involved in that stuff right. 

Closing CostsMake sure you also budget for closing costs, which are a collection of fees and payments made to the various parties involved in your transaction.

I’ve been involved in real estate investing for over 30 years, so if you ever have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out.

The majority of our expertise comes from experience and having a specific book of real-estate clients who are involved in a wide variety of activities.

I have been working with my contractor about 23 years now and when we get involved in a project I go to the site at least 4-5 times per week.

I've never done one personally but my understanding is it involves the home being put into a trust, with the sub2 purchaser buying the trust from you.

i invest via 50/50 partnerships. i find/coordinate/manage the deal, and my partner brings the capital to the deal & approves large expenses. on their end, it's just about as hands-off as investing in a syndication, but they get to be one of just two main 50/50 decision-makers. and when there are just two parties involved in a deal like this, vs it being diluted across tons of investors, i find it's also possible for the capital partner to see much higher returns. when it comes to teaming up in real estate i'm much more relationship-based and less transactional. i'd rather do fewer very high-quality, carefully selected deals, each with just one capital partner, so that i can really serve that person's best interests and get us amazing results, vs. doing a bunch of diluted deals. i also feel a lot of syndicators out there are newer to the game, lack experience, haven't used their own money enough, and don't use their investors' dollars with enough caution. it gives the high quality syndicators a bad name.

Prioritize your financial stability.
