Are you ready to learn about real estate investing? Tune in to Learn or Be Learned and meet your host, Shiva Dhanasekar, as she kicks off an exciting new video podcast season featuring a six-episode mini-series on real estate and real estate investing. In this series, two experienced realtors, Ramu Velu from Velu Holdings LLC and Nithin Thomas from Nithin Thomas Consulting Co., share their wealth of knowledge and advice on buying your first home, investing in rental properties, and scaling your investments for maximum profit.

Throughout the miniseries, the speakers discuss important topics including the differences between single-family and multifamily real estate, the importance of understanding your comfort level, goals, and timeline, and the various options available for investing in real estate. They also provide helpful tips on how to build equity, recycle capital through exits, and work with a team of professionals to maximize your investments.

The hosts caution that certain investment avenues, like house flipping and Airbnb, can be high risk and require extensive research. However, they also offer insights on which home renovations can add value to your property and which ones are simply personal preferences.
