The real estate blog Bigger Pockets has offered a concise list of pitfalls for would-be real estate investors, including buying in the wrong place, at the wrong price, and without the right advice. If you’re considering making an investment in real estate, you should check out the full article here.
Of course, if you’re interested in a way to invest in real estate that avoids these pitfalls — and leaves the tricky price and location strategy to true experts — we recommend you consider an investment in trust deeds. A trust deed investment provides many of the benefits of a real estate investment (security, income) without many of the hassles. And, it’s possible to invest in multiple deals with a much smaller initial investment and lower risk through multiple trust deed investments or via a mortgage pool.
