The current game is flipping which is a job (stop flipping and you stop making money) or more patience than I have.  

As someone in the game for more than 30 years, there are cities I have always been interested in, but have no interest in a one-off for myself so this is a great opportunity to get exposure in a market without any of the operational pain.4.

Love that you have been in the RE game for so long!

But my understanding is that it's a numbers game.

U can have zero experience and just need a few bucks and a  good credit score and you can buy a home to live in or a rental.. but not development deals.. different ball game

It's good to hear that you want to play the long-term hold game as that is how you'll ultimately build equity.  

A prominent MLO in the northeast was recently charged and stripped of his license for playing this game with his borrowers.Also, everything is reviewed by underwriting.

I'm fairly new to the real estate game and currently have 2 properties; 4 bed 2 1/2 bath renters have been in there going on their 5th year, and a new 3 bed 2 bath we're looking into using for a midterm.I work as a radiology manager for Methodist and been with them going on 10 years.

RE investing is a numbers game so the more properties/options you look at, the higher the likelihood you'll land a good deal in a shorter amount of time.Only 6% of Suffolk 2-4 family properties listed since '23 have been triplexes and quads. 

I’d much rather be working with my hands than sitting in front of a PC Honestly, it shouldn't take you a whole ton of time to do research once you know what you want to do.
