I think if I was just starting out, I would avoid the expensive courses (I never did one but am thoroughly not impressed with folks who tell me about their experiences) and find someone who could do some 1-1 training and orientation to set me in the right direction and make order out of the abundance of options and strategies.

This gives you single family home options and building out the second unit. 

Not every lender will do new construction loans and even fewer will do the "one-time-close" option.  

That is an option to consider if your goal is to be entirely passive :)

If you leave it up to them to figure out, they are probably never going too.Another strategy could be to Lease the entire portfolio with an Option to purchase for cash (or terms ) after they pass away.

We review a multitude of data sources to provide a real-time view into a real estate marketWhile a data-driven approach is useful to narrow down all the options, having boots on the ground (i.e. agent or contractor) is always important for due diligence

Hi Liad,Like you said, there are so many types of loans and financing options.

I think we're open to all options, so long as it's the right person to help.  

But what I really wish I'd known about when I first started investing in real estate is passive investing options, especially syndications.

Another option would be Propstream but I haven't used their platform in over a year so I don't know if they offer that.
