Choosing your investment strategy

[Ryan Cullen]

Hey all, I was looking for some advice as to how to choose your investment vehicle. I have read about many different strategies, as well as heard real life examples from the BiggerPockets podcast, but I was wondering what the best way is to narrow down what real estate strategy works best for you. I know it varies from person to person and is based on finances and your personal time commit to your real estate portfolio. I was just wondering if any had some advice as to how they narrowed down their real estate path. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You don't decide, the property/deal does.  Never go into any deal trying to fit a strategy to a property.  You'll lose more money than you gain that way.  You'll find yourself forcing  a property into a deal (or so you rationalize it to be a deal)...that really isn't a deal.

All those strategies you said your read about?  Let the property tell you what strategy makes the best deal.
