PassivePockets is for those interested in truly passive real estate investing through syndication, so I needed to begin to educate myself more on this real estate investing road that I hadn't yet considered for myself.

So, all in all talking to a knowledgeable real estate attorney for a specific situation is the best idea! 

I met with the owner 4 times, walked the space, and talked to her about her motivation to sell the property.

I see the 1% Rule all the time!

People often ask me why I choose to buy investment properties and other real estate.

If you had 50k in credit card debt for business startup costs (not real estate) with a 3-4-year plan to pay it off, high debt utilization in the meantime and a 620 credit score - but wanted to start investing in rental properties - what would you do with 20k that falls into your lap?

Too much most of the time.
