As I see it even if money in real estate was not made by going straight into multi-family (cost entry barriers), those who have grown their money eventually put it into multi-family or other commercial.

They eventually came to my job a few years later and garnished my wages, ofcourse the job then fired my royal behind 7 months pregnant nonetheless.Okay this should be a cautionary tale if there was ever one.

Eventually you will need to be able to do this accurately on your own. 

That will also help you keep accounting records of the payment for if/when you eventually sell or refinance.

In that scenario I would still rather own Real Estate than stocks because at least you have a solid asset that should bounce back eventually.  

I will eventually renovate the other side when the long term tenant moves out.

Get on some wholesaler lists, find listing agents with deals, and find out if you can raise hard money loans and eventually private money loans. 

Hello everyone, I hope all of you are doing well in this pandemic and hope all this COVID thing will be over soon.My wife and I are not too far from retirement and started thinking of buying an oceanside or oceanfront property as a short-term rental for now and eventually moving in.

I've seen it before where agents forgot to fill out dates or get the right signatures and if one party doesn't agree to correct it, the deal stalls and eventually times out.

I think the safe T act is going to make a bad situation worse up there and I anticipate crime rates going up and eventually more people will leave the city. you may have a situation like New York in the 70s where crime got out of control and the market/city took a hit, prices came down and opened up opportunities for people in the 80s to invest and build the city back up after they finally realized something needed to be done. just my thoughts though.
