I've been investing in RE for 6 years part time and have very recently left my six figure career to pursue this full time with a wife and kids at home so I'm all in.

I ended up unloading all of them and switching to passive investing.

And as per the above post, it's all diversions and lies when it comes to getting status of your investment.

Get out to real estate investing meetups.

the market is very different for many commercial RE classes than a few years ago.  

What many fail to recognize is that this isn’t true investing—it’s running a business, with all the operational headaches, turnover, and liability that come with it.How I am applying this advice to my own pipeline: Amending zoning to an assemblage which already has approvals for 19 apartments (10 converted and 9 new construction) and two small storefronts, into a concept that has an expanded restaurant/ground level beer garden use.

If you sell investments today, your gains will be part of your 2025 taxable income.

@Taylor Evans I understand your concerns about TBTF, but most banks that would finance an investment property are TSTC (Too Small To Care).

OOS residential RE has additional challenges versus local residential RE.  

I was wanting to pay off my car before investing but I am worried I will mess this amazing deal.
