I agree with you Corey, It was Wall Street that created the vehicle for the real estate meltdown and I have nothing against bankers but they were willing to jump in the car and go for a ride.There was a few small banks whose presidents saw what was going on and decided to stay away from the crowds who were lending with 2 or 3% down, bad credit or no credit and multiple loan to "investors" that didn't know what they were doing.Back to the subject, I have a 79 year old mother in law whose home is worth $400,000 and has a 1st of $33,000 and can't borrow $20,000 because the government is trying to protect her.

From what I've learned so far, RE seems like you get much better ROI with less risk than other investment vehicles.

I have a front door camera that is right in front of his vehicle so I know that he is not going to his vehicle for something he forgot at this time. 

The owning of a rental property is just a vehicle to get you to your end destination it is part of the strategy not the goal.

One that is well known and has a large supply of employees, vehicles and assets.

He insures all my rentals and primary residence and vehicles too.

I obtained a phone number and an address for the driver from my tenant, as well as pictures of the damage and of the vehicle in question along with license plate.

After becoming debt free and selling almost everything I have and have worked for I should have around 5-6k per month in liquid finances after child support and I want to use real estate investing as my investment vehicle.

i told him i invest in real estate but we cant buy and sell real estate like used vehicles. 

There is no such thing as a truly passive income vehicle where you essentially "set it and forget it".
