I am also a licensed property and casualty insurance agent, but have a huge passion for real estate.

It's a great way to find out what they are passionate about and then buuy them something based on your findings.

Unless you have a particular passion for this business, I would recommend for you to sell and allocate your inheritance towards investments you are more familiar with and ones that are a bit closer to you.

Its a passion that is developing for us rather quickly.

if it is your passion, it is rewarding and beneficial.  

I have a friend who works for them, and he is very passionate about the program.

I sat on a couple construction boards in college but didn't pursue the passion.

I know this is kind of a wacky idea for a new investor, but it really is what I am passionate about, and would love to get some ideas as to how I may become the person people think about when they are looking for Alternative real estate assets.Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.Thanks!

there are many people out there that are passionate about real estate and they just want to share that passion with other people.

I'd say do this investing thing for yourself and have a liquidation plan in place for the family in case they don't share your passion.
