Tough to answer due to so many feelings about risk tolerances and what other investments could be making you as a ROI.I feel leverage of real estate is the real strength of this asset.  

Learning that I prefer money invested in real estate over money sitting in the bank... don't we all?!

I have always been interested in real estate and engaged in BiggerPockets loosely while in college at West Virginia University.

Quote from @Jonathan Chan: Hi All,I first joined biggerpockets back in 2020 when I decided to get into real estate.

It may some disgruntled students who joined, but realized real estate was not for them, and sued to get their money back. 

I work with Property Management in Houston but can recommend some great networking/educational events for you :) Check out Space City REI - there's monthly meetups with an educational speaker relating to real estate investing and there are plenty of Investors looking for Wholesalers out there! 

I am new to real estate investing.

Sellers may struggle to mentally shift from "owner" to "tenant," which can create challenges with boundaries and property care.Security Deposit:If you’re doing a temporary leaseback, be sure to collect a substantial security deposit to cover potential damages and ensure they vacate on time.

Also, it can avoid filing an amendment.Another great point on eligibility- SEP IRAs require net self-employment income from activities like 1099 contract work, real estate sales, wholesaling, or other self-employment business income.Passive income as you have highlighted, does not qualify.
