Long Story short, how do I approach private investors or find them?

What real estate investing approach are you most interested in pursuing?

An equity cash out approach may be an alternative source for you .

They may have a market or if not, they can approach the excess or specialty market.  2.

Anyone willing to share their approaches to the current market, West Coast or otherwise?

(i'm probably more in wealth preservation mode vs wealth accumulation). i also don't mind the idea of DST being an illiquid investment since i still have a healthy brokerage account, a 401K when i turn 59.5, no debts and a 250K line of credit that i can tap into if i run into any emergencies.

Now, this is a very simple approach, but it gives the high level view.

Do some people approach renting this way?

I don’t have a lot of experience but from the research and networking that I’ve done, I would highly recommend using the BRRRR strategy to approach your first deal.

Any advice or recommendations on how to approach this?
