Here in TN brokerages regularly hold EM deposits; I have a dedicated account for such deposits myself, by law, even though I don't actively broker RE but just maintain my brokerage for the PM side of things.

My name is Peter, and I am an investor actively seeking to connect with like-minded individuals and groups in the investment community.

The real trick is making sure you’ve got a handle on who’s active in your target area.

I have seen quite a bit of activity over the past handful of years.

Active real estate investing doesn’t seem to float my boat.

Hi Brandon,Personally I think it all depends on what kind of "avatar" you are.If you have high risk tolerance and have time to spend, active strategies like flips and BRRRRs will yield better returns and more opportunities. 

When I was active, the O-4 Good Idea Fairies always tried to re-invent how we did business, and 95% of the time, they overcomplicated a simple process making our lives way harder.

Did you use AI to generate your posts, you slick dog...Haha, but in all reality AI is useful as a complementary piece for day to day activities.

I am really just looking to avoid the worst of the worst areas (anywhere with open air drug markets or active gang warfare / prolific violent crimes).
