I ended up owning about 220 houses personally LOL.. and losing about 5 to 7 million in cash..

I'm giving myself a year to learn all I can and save up a down payment for my first long-term rental in my local area.

Derek, any reason you'd prefer investing in a syndication rather than doing smaller deals and deploying your own capital?

I grew up in Central IL and lived in Saint Louis in my 20s.

You have to give the tenant a reason to come see yours and not the others.

I am planning to live in the main house with my grandma so I can save up some cash.

Pete and visit my family up there frequently. 

My passion lies in real estate investment, and I am currently working on becoming a successful real estate investor in the Halifax/HRM area.Growing up, I was fortunate enough to learn the ins and outs of the real estate industry from my father, who owned and managed 65 units.

At 63 you will have to find ways to speed up the process - partnering, value add and finding extraordinary deals.
