To understand that you must first understand real estate because it's the land that is required to be purchased and financed.So, you need to begin by understanding real estate,  then you can increase management skills knowing how real estate functions, it is not just the subject of the transaction but the asset to be added into the mix of these principles used to do business.

It is generally a better idea to just buy one asset (the real estate) and take title in a new entity in order to avoid getting mixed up in any liabilities of the selling entity.
