If you had 25k to Invest?

[Anthony Favoroso]

This is for some of you experienced investors.. Looking back at the start of you're investing careers if you had saved 25-30 thousand dollars to start with knowing what you know now how would you invest it in today's markets?

Anthony Favoroso that depends in what kind of investing you are looking to do. Are you wanting to buy and hold, wholesale, rehab, buy notes, broker notes, commercial, multifamily. I would first recommend to determine what your investment philosophy is. What is your risk tolerance. Are you looking more for cash flow for today or building long term wealth with properties that may appreciate more (some markets appreciate more than others, obviously. I would never buy based on appreciation though. How do you think I learned that, haha). Do you want to invest locally or are you looking outside your immediate area. What kind of experience do you have? What type of real estate education do you have?

That's a lot of questions I realize. I think it is important to find out where you want to go and why. Then you can figure out high. Another question is (if buying and holding) do you want to pay all cash for a property or are you comfortable leveraging (getting a loan or seller financing). Do you even want to use your own money? If you want a fixed rate of return you can even loan your money.
