Stock investor trying to invest in real estate.

[Anthony Hom]

Hello BP Community 

First, I want to say hope everyone is doing well during this pandemic and difficulties events.

I am a stock investor I have stocks in my portfolio that consist of Commercial restaurant, Loans, And REITS. I have nothing wrong to say about stocks as of my 15 years of investing. Yes, there were learning mistakes along the way. I would like to know the difference what should I expect while investing in real estate from stocks. 

I am aware that liquidity is far more complex in real estate than stock and growth is more long term, I have developed a Real Estate strategy plans for my investing but not sure how well prepared I would be if things goes bad. 

I am looking at houses that have good state economies, unemployment rates, rental ratio, taxes, and regulation. To decided if the property would generate cash flow. 

My ultimate goal is to find a house with a good tenant to generate cash flow on monthly basis. But it is hard knowing that I am only looking at cash buying 30-80k houses which prices around that range comes with bad things such bad roofs, boiled, and pipes.

Thank you for your responds
