If you like to "hope so and wait" type of person, choose stocks.Real estate on the other hand has all the benefits.Their values are like a slow moving train that youget to inspect, repair, rent, insure, buy 7 different ways,sell 7 different ways.You can see it coming (appreciate) and going (depreciate)in time enough to get on and get off and make a profitbefore, during, after, and all around.There is no comparison - real estate is the best hands downas long as you're competent(take all costs into consideration) and prepared(have the best support team).Sure yo can kind of be 'competent' and sort of 'prepared'in buying/selling stocks, but again, it is still a "hope so and wait" 'technique'.

The key is to find motivated sellers, whatever technique you use.

I'm checking on that aspect further before I use the IP technique.

But, things like that do happen.Doing a "subject to" deal is one of the creative techniques investors use all the time.

Plus, most of the techniques I use (wholesaling, lease options, sub-2) have very little risks.

Second; I believe that most Realtors don't take the time to understand what creative techniques are out there.

Tons of internet marketing companies were built on this technique alone, and then flopped when it changed.

See if it makes sense paying for their services.What did you guys use for marketing techniques?

If you have limited real estate investing experience or you’re not sure what other techniques you can utilize in coming back from financial disaster, consider finding a good real estate investing coach who can show you the ropes and teach you a multitude of techniques that can ramp up your career and have you on the right track in no time.

Looking forward to learning some new techniques and providing some advice to newbies.
