So here's the thing, I'm 17 years old with some basic knowledge on real estate like types of loans and investment strategies.

Could you folks kindly share some of the key strategies or decisions that helped you persevere during challenging times as a  investor?

'Real' tile will last literally forever.

But most of the people responding to you already have their own REI investment strategies they are pursuing.

As River mentioned, you first need to figure out what strategy works best for you.

I literally spend 20 - 30 minutes per month with a dozen units.

Finding dependable and fairly priced contractors can be difficult, but taking one step at a time is the best strategy.

Detroit has the the highest rent to price ratio in the country…and we focus on the best balance of price/location within the area.You may have noticed our name is literally FIRE lol.Questions:1) Best price/rent in the county.

I invested in my first syndication deal this year for storage, and am now investing in SFR RE notes on another platform this week, diversified in different states, properties and strategies to where I should get a decent return, with minimal risk...and completely passive.

To be honest it's a strategy you should check out if you haven't already.
