Realize at the outset that real estate will involve all different types to service, maintain, repair, improve, insure, manage and eventually sell.  

There's been so much interest in real estate investing and the success stories on podcasts and in books - most of which were achieved over the last decade - give people the real estate "bug" and they often over pay either because they don't know how to run the numbers or because they're just so anxious to get in.

Happy to chat more, although I'm more responsive and active on Instagram @james_hwangThe real estate investing world is small and the MTR operator world is even smaller.

Real Estate is one of the most illiquid asset classes and thus takes months to work its way through.

You should always vet your agent to ensure they are experienced and working hard, full-time, in the market.It's nice if you can find an agent that specializes in real estate investing, but any solid agent should work well for you. 

A lot of this is dependent on where rates go in the next 6-12 months. 

Is this the norm in real estate? 

I do not believe the 4 phases of a real estate cycle are applicable at this moment.

I as Real Estate Broker am going to take on more liability, more work, more efforts, more hassles, and that comes with a price tag.
