You can pick and choose from different types of real estate investments without having to do all the research yourself - the fund's sponsor will have already done that for you.DiversificationYou combine your money with other investors' to buy a set of similarly rated assets in different locations using real estate funds.

I recommend using the company that you have other policies with since they'll be able to provide you a bundle discount. 3 - Look at market rate, and charge slightly under.

Yes, today with the high prices and high interest rates it is harder , but still not impossible.  

Every year you have a vacancy rate from the year before. 

You can borrow more than 75%, but you have to be mindful of cash-flow and interest rates.

I am interested to see if lowered interest rates even helps affordability or just raises prices. 

I built a software called Areii that allows you to get property value estimates and rental rate estimates.

@Jake Posnerstrongly recommend looking closer to home - OOS investing is more difficult than it's made out to be. andwith rates where they are, there's just about no cash flow right now unless you employ a creative strategy or a combination of creative strategies.if you just buy any old property in any old market, you're not going to cash flow.

I'm researching the risks associated with leverage in real estate investing, particularly the rate of bankruptcy among investors who use leverage.

Be conservative when you run your numbers on rents with prices/interest rates.
