I’ve learned with age that passive investing is the way to go.

Disclosure: I started RE school in Ky but learned we will be moving back to La in a few months (where the paid off house is) my only reason for getting licensed was for MLS listings, avoiding commissions and the freedom to look at potential investments without wearing an agent out.Looking forward to learning and growing my portfolioThanks!

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location/neighborhoods to invest in.Why is Property Class so important for investors to understand and apply in their investing strategies?

To qualify as an RE Pro you must:1.

I just don’t like the lack of control I have in the stock market, buts it’s been out performing my RE by far over the last 10 years. lol Thanks for also sharing your investing experience.

Invest where you can make money.

Right now I'm working with a client to get a recently acquired 8-unit fully vacant so that we can begin rehab to eventually re-rent at higher rates.

Hi @Scott Green, it really depends on your cash flow goals and risk tolerance, paying it off gives peace of mind and stronger monthly cash flow, while reinvesting could grow your wealth faster if the numbers work.For another commercial property to make sense, the numbers should show stronger returns than your current loan cost.If the cap rate minus your financing rate still leaves positive leverage (meaning your debt helps, not hurts, your returns), then it could be worth pursuing instead of paying off your existing loan.

You don't want all your investment eggs in one basket. 

Invest in major metropolitan areas with good schools.
