Today’s guest post comes from Fred Leamnson from the Money Mix website. I met Fred briefly at FinCon, and we’ve communicated several times since then. His well-written posts have landed on The Sunday Best several times now.
Fred is an advocate for those dealing with opioid addiction, the effects of which have greatly impacted his family. He devotes an entire section of his website to overcoming adversity.
The most common and readily available way to invest in real estate is via real estate investment trusts or REITs (pronounced Reets). REITs purchase various types of real estate (residential, commercial, multi-family, etc.)
In recent years, crowdfunding has made its way to real estate investing. Crowdfunded REITs are most often offered in private funds, meaning they are not publicly traded. These newer funds register with the SEC as exempt funds, usually under the SEC’s Regulation Crowdfunding.
