- Meredith, Pittsburgh, PA, “I want to invest in real estate, but I don’t want to own rental properties and I don’t want to do flips. I want passive investment. I know about REITs and I’ve done some checking into crowdfunding sites. The REITs don’t have great returns but they seem relatively safe. The crowdfunding makes me leery. I know they are probably doing just fine but it seems a little dicey to me. How should I be thinking about where to put my money?”
- Sydney, Lancaster, PA, “I’m confused about getting my business set up. I own three rental houses and a duplex, all titled in my own name. I just watched a webinar on asset protection. I heard that I needed to form a Nevada Corporation, which they were willing to set up for me -- for a fee of course. Since it was a webinar I looked up what it cost and they were adding about $1000 to what it would really cost. So I passed. But the logic seemed compelling. So I think I need to do something. I would like your input.”
- Ellen, Villages of Ocala, FL, “We are trying to maximize the returns on our self-directed IRA. We started a little late in the game and don’t really have enough money in there to buy and flip a house. Any suggestions?”
- Karenza, Long Beach, CA “I want to dive into buying rental properties here in southern california. My question is, am I too late?”
- Britney, Penn Hills, PA “My husband and I are finishing up our first flip -- so exciting! We are having a discussion about interior paint colors. Our property is in an area that has a lot of investor activity with trendy styles and colors. I want a bold color scheme, but my husband wants builder’s beige. Can you settle the debate?”
- “Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way…” Baltasar Gracian
