What specifically do you invest in?
Since joining Biggerpockets, I've noticed one thing, everyone labels themselves as "investors". That covers a very wide swath. What specifically do you invest in, and what area of the country, or planet? REO's, short sales, rehabs, new, SFR, Multi family, Office Buildings, Medical Office space, etc.? Do you buy for yourselves or clients? Do you participate as a hands on investor, or act as financial investor/joint venture partners?

I invest in real estate as well as the people connected to it.
Regarding real estate, I invest in distressed and often 'abandoned' 1-4 family residential property.
Regarding people, I invest in inner city youth and have been mentoring them for the past 15 years.
I believe in taking a somewhat holistic approach to investing and believe that people, and not just property, must be a part of the equation in order for true 'revitalization' to take place.
