Hey Team, im going to start putting more money into The stock market so that all my wealth isn't just in the real estate. and I'm playing around with using VFMO a vanguard index fund, along with VTI - their total stock market fund.Is that crazy?

Understand what makes a deal a real deal.

Or is this a turn key property?

Looked into having it be a short-term rental and became more interested than ever at real estate investing.

Scaling up a factory output is real and viable.

I am currently looking to get back into Real Estate investing and would love to find some locals to network with and begin attending REIA meetings.

Given your background in real estate and construction, you're in a great position to add value.

While some hard money lenders prioritize previous flipping experience (My company does not, we welcome first time investors), there are definitely ways to position yourself as a strong borrower without that track record.One key is highlighting your relevant experience, if you decide to work with a lender that requires experience, is showing detailed examples of past projects you’ve completed, even if they weren’t flips.

For those who have structured a real estate syndication before — what was the biggest challenge you faced, and how did you overcome it?
