Good afternoon everyone, I am 21 years old and interested in starting my real estate investing journey.

In my experience these are the levels of how financial fraud is doneLevel 1 - The “sponsor” is a fraudster from the beginning and the entire investment is a designed fraud designed to steal the investor's money Level 2 - The sponsor initially intends to operate legally and honestly but the temptation of easy access to money, usually fueled by addictions to drugs, sex, partying, etc. leads to the bad decision to line the sponsors own pocketsLevel 3 - The sponsor intends to operate legally but a crisis in their life resulting in a need for money leads the sponsor to “borrow” from investor’s funds with the full intention of paying it back ( which they are unable to do).Level 4 - The sponsor intends to operate legally but the assets under their management incur substantial loses; the sponsor attempts to cover up these loses by “temporarily” borrowing from one investor to pay another or submitting false results.

Just trying to compare the returns on my rentals versus my investment accounts.

You paid $2m for it two years ago w/ 25% down (it was suffering from mismanagement and deferred maintenance), invested $325k in capital improvements, and it's now valued at $3m with an NOI of $195k (cap rate assuming $3m value is 6.5%).
