After extensive research for different paths as to how to get there, I've landed on multi-family investing as the best vehicle to great wealth for us to do so.In the past few months I've read several books, attended online trainings, met with some prominent syndicators, and ventured into a few local meet ups and have met some really great, helpful people.

A lot of these people either just want to make Guru income, or want to use you to fund their own ventures, through what you pay them up front, and additionally "working with" you down the road like a syndicator.

I understand this is a modest proposal in a world of higher risk / higher return ventures here, but I have the funds to do this alongside of some other ventures and I'm wondering if I might as well put some of this money to work and see a bit more passive income generated. 

Driever, I will start doing more research on HELOC's and see if that's a viable option for me and best of luck on your future ventures.  

. - Investor Keith Rabois is moving to Miami, Palantir cofounder and venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale is also moving to Austin, Brex's cofounders are decamping for Los Angeles, and Palantir is moving the company headquarters to Denver. - The pandemic has shifted how many tech companies value in-office work, leading to an exodus from the Bay Area and a migration toward more affordable cities.

As it would be my first real venture into the market, I would be scared of the extra risk.

This is a new venture for me so any help is appreciated...How are you all going about finding rental comps for your short term/vacation rentals?

I can't blame them for wanting to be profitable especially in light of the approaching IPO, but they used a lot of venture capital to attract realtors and buy out other brokerages.

@Thiago B DeSouza Good luck with your new venture!
