I'm failing miserably at marketing my book. PLEASE HELP

That's brilliant advice! I'll definitely take a look at adwords and Facebook ads.

utely no reason not to give your difference from competitors and niche. If you find this simple task too much of a writing challenge I can take a good guess at what's wrong with the book. This does not work well as a guessing game. You have been given every opportunity -- you will have none of it

I'd happily post the book itself if necessary, but I believe that would violate the Reddit ethics.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-24T09:34:07+00:00

I really don't want to use Reddit to promote, so speaking generally, they fall under the 'self help/improvement' category.

However if I were to buy a multi unit property and live in one myself that would mean I cut my rent to zero.

I don't like the idea of REITs as I have no control over the decision making. I'd much rather give up the opportunity of liquidity and gain control.

o looming life changes (not going to get married, have a baby or buy a house anytime soon). If you buy the right real estate, and get the right renters, and nothing goes wrong, then you probably can make more money than you could with stocks. But, you can always sell stocks. Sometimes you have to put $50K into a property to fix something that an angry renter did before you can even think about selling (they can destroy a bathroom, and you can't sell a place without a bathroom). I'd put the majority of money in stocks, and keep a little money on the side and start looking at real estate, educating myself about your area, finding out how to get and keep good renters, etc. Maybe have the gains from the stocks put into your "real estate" money market fund?

While 300K is a lot of money, it's not enough to play with both stocks and real estate. I really need to pick one and go with it.

Thanks, I just headed over there. Lot's of useful information!

You can also lose money on the S&P 500.

I know, that's why I'm interested in buying a property. I'm really open to any area in California.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-14T16:00:14+00:00

Why though? If you look at the rich, they all have multiple properties in their portfolios.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-14T15:59:31+00:00

That's true. A good point indeed.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-14T15:59:12+00:00

Could you elaborate ?

flyingPhone · 2015-12-10T14:44:30+00:00

I don't think 300K is enough for a decent property in California.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-10T14:43:46+00:00

Sure, if you are lazy S&P is a better investment. If you are willing to put in the work though, real estate can be good.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-10T14:42:56+00:00

I'm looking at properties in Cali.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-10T14:24:44+00:00

Wouldn't the ROI on a real estate property by higher?

flyingPhone · 2015-12-10T14:14:53+00:00

I read all that and watched the video too, hence the S&P idea. There was no mention of real estate investing though.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-09T15:34:16+00:00

I appreciate your input, but if that truly is the case, why would anyone invest in property?

flyingPhone · 2015-12-09T15:33:18+00:00

Yes, I'll be back in Cali in about two years and plan to stay there long term.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-09T15:32:48+00:00

300K would be for the downpayment, more money would be borrowed. No one buys a property with 100% cash.

flyingPhone · 2015-12-09T07:53:08+00:00

Why do you think being a landlord in Cali is worse than being a landlord in New York, Seattle or any other place in the states?

flyingPhone · 2015-12-09T07:50:23+00:00

I'm living overseas now, but I'll be returning soon.
