Interactive Post: How Will Real Estate Investing Change in the Future?

I can’t say the exact history of various types of real estate investing methods, but I am confident in saying they didn’t all show up at the same time. We have the basics: flipping houses, rental properties, and commercial real estate. Then, somewhere along the lines, we started getting into things like note investing, tax liens, REITs, syndications, and even for rental properties, turnkeys. How did these things start and then evolve over time? The biggest question, how did the invention of the internet change things?

Real estate investing is interesting because every method essentially works from one of few standard principles. Those principles (such as charging interest, renting to tenants, improving values, etc.) are not going to change. Or are they? More than the fundamentals changing though is how will we work with those changes? I have no idea. In some regard there is a lot of room for change in how real estate investing works, but in other regard it seems like maybe there isn’t.
