I am wanting to start real estate investing to become financially free in the future.

It's a piece of residential real estate, that is not how you value this type of asset. 

I have been learning about real estate investing for over 5 years and finally took the first big steps this year.I purchased a short term rental in Bellaire, MI. 

Hey BiggerPockets Community,As someone who's been immersed in the real estate space for a while, I’ve come across some incredibly effective strategies that have helped wholesalers and investors streamline their lead generation process.

In the world of commercial real estate, especially for those of us involved in wholesaling, hard money lending, and larger commercial transactions, finding truly qualified leads can be one of the toughest parts of the job.Unlike traditional real estate, commercial deals require a more complex understanding of financing, deal structure, and the unique needs of clients—many of whom are investors looking for specific ROI targets.

Quote from @Brian Dolbeare: Hi everyone,I'm excited to be back in real estate investing after some time away.

I'm Clayton from Fort Worth TX, passionate about real estate investing for two years and counting.

Check with a real estate lawyer before taking action!

I’m beginning my journey into real estate investing with the goal like many of you of generating passive income and discovering financial freedom without having to rely on a “day-job” for much longer, so I can travel more and spend more time with my young kids/family.

How experienced are you with rental real estate?
