Best real estate investing strategy for introverts?

[Dan Stelter]

Hi - 

So when it comes to business, I've found out I'm a true introvert. I don't like to deal with people any more than I absolutely have to. Some is fine. But, I prefer numbers, research, and analysis to dealing with people. FYI, I'm not one of those "introverts" who likes to fake it and can talk with lots of people all the time like some present themselves as. 

So, what's the best approach for me, and what're some good resources on getting started with it? 

Appreciate your thoughts, 

Dan

Find a property manager you can work with, buy a place, have them rent it out and deal with the tenants. Or buy into a REIT.

The tax benefits are only available when you directly purchase real estate and rent it out, correct? Does investing in real estate that way make a lot more financial sense than investing in a REIT?

 I don't know, but I wouldn't be buying a rental for the tax benefits.
