Hi everyone,I'm an beginner real estate investor with three duplexes in Missouri.

Hi everyone,Pretty new here and planning on investing in a STR in Orlando.

That can involve leveling compound or underlayment designed for flooring.This might seem a little picky but I really want everyone reading this post to understand.

Quote from @Mohammad Arif: Hello folks, new to this forum and to Real estate investment, looking to invest passively, both for long and short term, what would you guys recommend, what are your thoughts on real estate syndicates and who do you recommend, thank youI'm familiar with Gatsby Investments and have only good things to say about the company but everyone is different, so you have to see if it would work for you, your investment style, risk tolerance, etc.I believe, all of their available syndication offerings are limited to /around the area where they are physically located (Los Angeles, CA).

@Andrew Terry, like everyone said. 

If it were so simple as just buying a SFR with 20% down and you'd cash flow automatically, everyone would be doing it. 

Thanks everyone and I look forward to engaging in a productive discussion! 

…on the other hand, flipping, BRRR'ing, wholesaling, and out-of-state investing are more like double black diamonds—they require a lot of experience, and a single mistake could have dire consequences.The fact of the matter is: real estate is a high-stakes endeavor, and the more advanced strategies (like BRRR'ing, wholesaling, flipping, out of state investing, etc.) can easily bankrupt a beginner when they're executed poorly.Although HH’ing is a strategy that's good for beginners, it’s not just for beginners—there are plenty of very experienced RE investors worth many millions who continue to HH, because it's such a powerful strategy.Now, having said all that, house hacking is not necessarily easy, and it’s definitely not risk-free (if it were, everyone would do it!)...
