I am seeking opportunities to learn more about real estate investing in different properties type and how to mitigate the risk.

Ultimately, we let the 45-day window expire and took the net proceeds as boot because we identified a handful of Opportunity Zone investments that were pretty attractive and met the needs of the investor.We then identified a basket of OZ funds with various business models to diversify risk.

Opportunity zones?

The situation that presented itself was an opportunity i couldn't pass up.

The property has multiple offers within days which makes me think I’m over thinking this and is possibly an opportunity I don’t want to miss. 

And that happened because in AU in those days most folks from AU did not realize how much FREE information is available in the US on line about real estate .. this information did not or does not Exist in AU so they were easy marks.

After almost 2 years of trying to find resources, and $40K spent, I have a decent tenant who would like to stay and I’m slowly recouping from the event.With that said, I’m still open to section 8, because not everyone on section 8 mismanages their opportunity, and I’m also open to regular tenant.

Instead have the money available for more investment opportunities, unforeseen needs and emergencies, personal and otherwise. 

We only use CAP Rates when we are comparing one opportunity against another before pulling the trigger. 

Join online forums, go to local real estate meetups, and ask knowledgeable people for advice who have a wealth of knowledge.Markets that fit your investing objectives should be identified.
