I'd want a sponsor that invests for cash flow, because appreciation can be unpredictable at times.To maximize my returns (this is subjective based on your risk tolerance), I'd focus on offerings in a high growth area. 

@Morgan MadillThis is a question of your own risk tolerance.

What is your tolerance for risk?

It’s seriously giving me a moment of pause on if I want to buy more houses and pushing the envelope on my risk tolerance level.All the best young man.

If you like it and can tolerate it then I would look at getting a real estate license.

And of course thats why he has a personal Jet and I dont :)It's ok and everyone has their own risk tolerance.

Understand the economy and markets, pair it with your risk tolerance and knowledge....You'll be ready to invest wisely and disciplined.  

If you wonder what is better between investing in the stock market or real estate, there is no answer to that as both have pluses and minuses and then it can come down to knowledge, risk and volatility tolerance, personal psychology and perception, which are different from each of us.

It is all about your personal risk tolerance.

My advice would be this: after educating yourself of course, you’re going to need to have a decent amount of risk tolerance and the ability to trust the system and go.
