Directly buying real estate instead of investing in real estate? I own my own home and my retirement account is well funded (emergency funds, college funds, etc all doing well). I have a mix of stocks, bonds, and cash, but as there is no RE security for me to buy into at my 401k, I’m weighted a little heavier in bonds and cash than I would like. For a long time, I’ve wanted a vacation property and am curious …

Hey! I just started doing real estate photography at my brokerage, but I’m having issues “matching” the quality to the old photographer. How would I improve? Like the title says, I just started at a real estate company for house photography. Both the agent I work with, and the manager of the brokerage said my photos are good, but they’re missing something they can’t put their finger on.
