It could be as simple as being willing to hire painters and flooring guys, or it could be as complex as a scrape and build, but right now if you just want passive returns without any front end work you're better off in stocks.

Hi guys, wondering how to combine RE and stock/bond holdings for a normalized FI progress number. 

Hi guys, wondering how to combine RE and stock/bond holdings for a normalized FI progress number. 

The trades are booked out months in advance because they're still rebuilding housing stock.

There are over $100T of real estate, stocks, bonds, etc.

I am invested in the stock market and was able to use my mother as a mentor but have no such help when it comes to real estate.

You can say the same thing about the stock market, so just go do it.Just hope that neither has a 50% drop in a few months like history shows.

I googled “retirement plans for General contractors”, stocks and real estate popped up.

The stock market is propped up by the printing of cash.

I could liquidate my stocks and buy now but I feel like that's idiotic.
