The real estate industry is dynamic and ever-evolving. Market conditions are constantly influenced by factors like supply and demand, interest rates, and economic cycles, to name a few. Any of these factors can cause your property values, rental income, and investment opportunities to fluctuate.

Before real estate investment trusts (REITs) were established in 1960, only ultra-wealthy investors could invest in high-income-producing properties like commercial real estate and apartment buildings. Now thanks to the internet, everyday investors can join real estate investment groups (REIGs), invest in real estate debt, and easily access different strategies for house hacking, house flipping, and real estate wholesaling. In addition, with sites like Airbnb growing in popularity, many investors have made whole careers out of investing and managing short-term rental properties.
