So, I'm looking to invest in other markets and trying to focus on one or two so that I can build knowledge over time, but narrowing it down is a challenge. 

@Loren Souers I'd have to run the specific scenarios with the rates and fees, but if you're OK with paying the higher closing costs, the Mortgage 1 deal looks good, particularly if you focus on CoC returns.

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

I’m passionate about learning and improving my process to provide real value to investors, whether you’re focused on fix-and-flip, buy-and-hold, or any other strategy.Looking forward to your thoughts and insights!

Sumrok totally focused on mid-large multifamily. 

These marketers would have the novice investor believe that the narrow focused “education” they provide combined with the “holy grail” formula (wholesaling, subject to, flipping, lease option, discounted note purchase, etc.) is most, if not all, anyone needs to become “independent” and successful, usually by month 12.

Perhaps greater focus should be placed there?

I'd recommend focusing on properties that have been on market over 45 days in the boroughs and over 30 days in the suburbs.

It is clear from the interview that their main skill set is raising money and they partner with other "Co-GPs" who focus on the operations. 

@Chris Shon Hiring a real estate-focused tax accountant can be highly beneficial, especially if you’re new to navigating the complexities of real estate investments and LLC filings.
