So, while a valuation decline in private syndication might not be recognized for a long time, a bear market in REITs is “shouting” at the investor every day.

The challenge is there aren’t a lot of recent comps in KC for newer Class A, studio-loft style assets to lean on, which is why I put this post out — trying to get feedback on how to structure it creatively to make it more attractive.What we do know: Class C comps nearby are $100k+/door, so with this being Class A, 2021 build, modern loft layouts (w/ separate lofted bed area), and in a highly walkable location right by the college, we think there’s justification to push above that.That said, I fully recognize we’re testing the top of the market.

I'm seeing opportunities in Colombia, Perú, Argentina, Panamá, and México.But, unless you're located IN one of these countries, it's probably not the place to learn real estate investing.That said, you should know that the amount of capital you have has ZERO bearing on whether you can get started in real estate.If you know how to property recognize and analyze a deal and you are able to get prospective sellers to tell you their problems, you're well on your way to becoming an investor.However, you could have a million dollars in your pocket, but if you can't recognize nor analyze a deal and can't talk to sellers, you're no investor.

@Michael Plaks @Julius Vincent @Jason MalabuteIf the OP (@Russell Roberts) were to change #1 be a direct investment, say an expensive LTR capable of creating large tax losses via bonus depreciation (and assuming he otherwise does everything to legitimately qualify for REPS), would that be able to offset the ordinary income recognized from the Roth conversion?

I am interested in investing in something a bit more passive as I am getting older and, while I love the real estate asset class, I do recognize the need for multiple streams of income. 

The question is how long until the purchase is superior to having rented and are you actually going to own the property long enough to benefit from the ownership recognizing the costs associated with buying and selling.Good luckYes, I can see that, especially in CA - renting does indeed look a LOT more attractive vs buying than it does here in the Midwest!

Quote from @Ryan Coon: Hi Parker,This is a great question, and given the markets that you're in you do have some great potentially more affordable options.First, both TX and TN recognize "Series LLC's" which can be great options for optimizing asset protection and separation of properties at a lower cost than 1 LLC per property.
