INVESTOR (passive) - invest in REITS, limited partner or non managing member in syndications, private equity real estate funds investor, investor in real estate directly where financial advisor handles ALL aspects of asset and property management INVESTOR (active) - direct real estate ownership, syndicator, direct private lender, fix n flip, etc.So, I operate MOSTLY in the INVESTOR (active) category, but I have constant involvement in both the BUSINESS aspect as well as the INVESTOR (passive) category.

Quote from @Nicholas Stevenson: Hey everyone,I'm 20 years old and have about $250,000 that I'm looking to deploy.Earlier this year, I bought my first rental property — a condo for $175,000— and now I'm looking at getting a loan against it to free up even more capital.I'm seriously considering starting a hard money/private lending business.I’m hoping to mainly fund flippers, investors, and small bridge loans at low LTV's (around 65-70% of ARV).Right now, I’m based in UTah, but I’m open to ideas about nearby markets too.A few questions I would love advice on: Is $250K enough to get started lending in today’s market, or should I look into pooling capital?

This structure adds a layer of liability protection and keeps the retirement plan out of the public record.I’ve worked with several clients who were surprised when their self-directed IRA (SDIRA) was named directly in a lawsuit because the property was held in the SDIRA’s name.

For a first-timer, focus on learning, start small, build a solid crew (like me at Complete Lending, wink wink, for your financing), and know your numbers inside and out.
