Quote from @Andrew Gardiner: Hello my name is Andrew I'm from Hartville Ohio I really want to get into investing I'm extremely interested in learning how to create passive income my goal is to own 3 doors at the moment only up from here the only problem I have right now is knowing where to start and I have no money I work a fulltime job but I want to leave this place and become better with money  Read, Educate, Learn, etc.

I'm on bigger pockets in the hopes of finding leads, creating relationships with investors, agents, lenders, and all of the real estate pros of there, and to eventually create a foundation of passive income for financial independence.

I invest in both.

I’ve built 3 profitable ramen shops in CA and am now expanding a new location in the East Bay.I’m raising capital using a structure that works a lot like real estate syndication:• Passive investment• No equity or management• Monthly payments until investor receives 1.5x returnWould love feedback from fellow investors — have you ever invested in restaurants this way?

Is this your primary residence or is it a 2nd home or investment property?

For everyone thinking about getting into real estate investing, I recommend spending at least 6 months educating yourself through websites likes this and its family of books and podcasts, other real estate podcasts, books at the library, and local meetups.

What book made you start your real estate investing journey?

If you are looking to invest passively in hotel or resort syndications, read The Hands-Off Investor by @Brian Burke to understand how to vet the operator then the deal.If you are interested in hotel conversion, look up Alexander Cartwright at HotelShift.

If you invest out of state you increase both your costs and risk. 

So if your goal truly is passive income, you have a handful of options.1.
