A big part of me loves investing in real estate and it’s a big part of my plan for the future. Yet, for some reason this was still one of the easiest posts I’ve ever written…because the truth is, I lose soooo much sleep over some of the worries that come with this type of investing (at least for buy and hold real estate investing). It is not an easy thing to do and it is TOUGH work. And not just the getting-your-hands-dirty kind of work (though it certainly can be that), but the dreadful how-the-heck-am-I-going-to-fix-this kind of work. The kind of thing you think about all day and lose tons of sleep over. And until you’ve really hit it big, it’s hard to tell if you’re even doing things right.
So before you jump head first into your first property (which I still hope you will consider!), make sure to read this carefully because real estate investing is not as glamorous as you think and it’s definitely not for everyone!
