I've found that careful accredited investor real estate deals can consistently provide returns close to owned real estate with less hassle and with less risk. For these types of deals you can look at sites like realtymogul.com, crowdstreet.com, fundrise.com, and realcrowd.com. There are more of these and there are also sites that are developer sites that have similar offers. I use these for real estate deals. ... Source: over 1 year ago

Another platform I have not much experience with is crowdstreet.com, recommended by Financial Samurai. Does anyone know if this one is safe? It invests in real estate in so-called 18-hour cities in the US. Source: over 2 years ago

FYI, 15% is a tad low for self storage investment as a limited partner. You can find one on crowdstreet.com right now for 16%. I have no connection with Federal Storage but they're a well known and very experienced self storage operation. Source: over 2 years ago

My list is: Trion-properties.com (West coast apt buildings) Mccompanies.com (rehab large apt buildings in the southwest) Crowdstreet.com (medical buildings and new construction projects nationwide). Source: about 3 years ago

Most 401k's have very limited investment choices - certain families of mutual funds, most being quite broad. That's fine for the slice of savings / investment that most folks are allocating to them.

I found my place quick; My employer let me know I got the job around 2 weeks before the start date, I found my current place within a week on... Source: 7 months ago

Even if you aren't renting, I'd look for places using apartments.com commute distance feature. All roads in NJ are not created equal. You'll be able to live much further(cheaper, prettier, more space) the further south or west you go, and more than likely 95 or 80 will serve you better than the Garden State Parkway, Route 1, 9, 18, 27, 130.

If you aren't local, try places like zillow, apartments.com, rentcollegepads, or google places like JSM, MHM, Smile, Green Street Realty, University Group, Roland, Bankier, Ramshaw, etc. Source: 7 months ago

You have the budget to afford one of those luxury buildings. There aren't many (any?) in Somerville like that, I think it's due to permits/regulations or something. But if you up your budget filters on apartments.com you could still find something in Somerville with off street parking included. Source: 7 months ago

I always found hidden gems on Craigslist. People shit on it all the time but I preferred it over apartments.com and the like. No b/s, just pay the owner a flat fee monthly. Source: 7 months ago
