Many people don’t want to invest in Real Estate because of the three T’S, Tenants, Toilets & Termites, and I understand completely. But there are other ways to get into Real Estate without involving yourself. Many new companies are now opening up investing opportunities for everyone like crowdfunding. What is crowdfunding ? It’s the practice of funding a project or venture by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via online. So you can invest your money without being involved, in other words a passive investor where you sit back and collect, now I’m not endorsing crowdfunding, you have to do your due diligence before investing in any of these projects. Another way besides these funding portals, you can invest in a REIT, what is a Reit? A reit, or real estate investment trust, is a company that owns or finances income producing real estate, Reits provide investors of all types regular income streams through a dividend you can get either monthly or every quarter depending on the company. So don’t feel you have to be a landlord, just do your research you have plenty of choices to be in Real Estate.

When I started learning about real estate investing in 2007 I was basically lost in the terminology of investing, with words like ROI, CAP RATE, CASH ON CASH RETURN. So you can imagine what I and other new investors were going through. That is why education is very important in any endeavor you might partake in. So I set out to read, watch, or listen to anything related to Real Estate. And one thing I want to say, I’m still learning 8 plus years later. There are many ways to get your education for investing, you have sites like Google, Youtube, & other social media sites that are everywhere we look. But for me the easiest way to learn was being with like-minded individuals that have the same goal in mind. Which means network, network & more networking, we can take many classes but being around the people that are doing it, that is the best education, you are learning on the job. For those who are new, look at your local meetup.com site and type in Real Estate and you will see hundred’s of clubs you can join. |
