@Kevin Bartel If you're starting in real estate investing with a high-paying W2 job and a demanding schedule, your best approach depends on balancing risk, involvement level, and income potential.

That’s why you get a discounted interest rate and a lower downpayment, because owne occupant properties are low risk. 

If you need more guidance, feel free to DM me, and I’ll help point you in the right direction!

Surrounding yourself with a team brings some risk, but the risk is on your ability to judge people and processes. 

My lender will charge an extra 5% just for the risk being undertaken during the build process.  

It’s a matter of Risk Reward.

We don't reach that point until we have had the opportunity to understand what an investor wants, their motivations, long-term goals, and risk profile.  

Anyone can get 4.3% now in a 100% treasury fund (was 5% until recently), virtually risk-free.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

Absolutely, go to college and get a worthwhile degree, especially if you have a free ride!!!!
