Hello, I am new to real estate investing and I have a tentative verbal deal on a pre-market lake property that I would eventually like to make my retirement home (10 years or so).

Real Estate Agent How did you finance this deal?

@Vontarius Dameko, I think the future of titles to real estate will involve blockchain technology, but I think it won't be about title companies who handle closings.

Hi Dennis, your newest plan sounds very reasonable and is a widely used strategy in real estate.  

Here is some recent news on some prime real estate.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,My fiancé and I are beginning our real estate investment journey but we live and work in one of the most expensive markets in the world - even though we are 20 minutes from San Francisco there is not a property in our city listed at under 1 million (yes).So I recently took a trip to Costa Rica for the sole purpose of identifying regions we would like to invest in and ended up finding a fantastic little condo for our starter property.

Real estate can be an amazing tool for reducing taxes.
