On this week’s episode, I’m continuing a series that coincides with my upcoming book and name of the podcast, The Insider’s Edge to Real Estate Investing. In this show, the third in this 12-part series, I define and compare the four main property types, which are often called asset classes, in real estate investing. These are: multi-family, retail, office, and land. I cover the advantages and disadvantages for each one, and lay out some important factors, like considering upfront costs and understanding your tolerance for risk when choosing a property. My writing partner Rachel Hartman interviews me as I discuss which asset class I think is a great option for beginning investors, along with the value of starting with a location where you feel comfortable and have an inside edge—like your own neighborhood. In addition to helping me with the book, Rachel pens content for Fortune 500 companies and is a regular contributor for U.S. News & World Report (connect with her at LinkedIn).

Thanks for Listening!
