I am very eager about getting my foot into real estate and purchasing properties within the next 6 months.

Real estate is illiquid.

Hi there, my name is Aram, I'm a financial advisor and a newbie real estate investor!

I think i remember reading that you can also demonstrate accreditation status by working in some capacity for the syndicator, or also by working "meaningfully" in real estate anywhere in some capacity, and these don't have a dollar value ie. the 300k joint filing or 1Meg net worth threshold. but the amount of due diligence required to invest in a private syndication is/should be a lot, which always are more opaque than a public RE investment, like REITs, is something you may want to avoid until you have been involved in RE directly for some timeconsider mortgageREITs, eg.

., fix-and-flip, rental properties, commercial real estate)?

Hey @Jose Almonte - good question, I recommend reading a few real estate books (you only really need to read just 1 basic RE book). 

There's no real value add other than your convenience.  

Now with that said, after i cash out refi, how do I get into more real estate?

Connecting with local investors or real estate groups can also provide valuable insights and potential partnerships.

Having worked in commercial real estate for nearly 20 years, and knowing many people that have been at it for 30+ years:1) no one ever goes bankrupt with no debt2) Most everyone I know in their mid-50s or older, that have built large portfolios (with debt, admittedly), seem to move from acquisition mode to debt pay down mode.
