The power of compounding in real estate is real - yet most professionals don't understand how powerful it really can be even though they talk about generating wealth.The true power of a 1031 exchange is the ability for an investor to meet their investment objectives without losing equity to taxation.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

Currently our rental real estate equity portfolio is somewhere in the range of $1.8 - $2M.

I like real estate so I intend to stay in the space.

I'm new to the real estate game and am looking to purchase my next deal.

Currently, we have them in a money market savings account, but I believe there are better options out there that offer higher returns while still being liquid and low-risk.I'd love to hear from other operators:Where do you park your reserve funds?

I've recently been having a lot of extra free time and decided to invest all of it into learning more about real estate and investments in real estate.

We're now looking for another investment property...the market has shifted, interest rates are higher now, and there are many investors in our local market that have long ago snapped up the easy ones.Now, I'm continually listening to BP and other podcasts with the idea of figuring out how to create a good deal, instead of "finding" a good deal.Also, whether you're a real estate agent or an investor, remember that the market will change...the interest rates, rent rates, and who knows what else will change. 

Of course, the total transactions for this year were 40% less compared to 2022, but that's nothing to frown upon; it only means that savvy investors have prime real estate waiting to be snatched by them.Of course, there are always challenges to navigate through.

I am focused on my REINDEER platforrm (Real Estate Investors Networking Education Empowerment and Resources).
