Anyone here a digital nomad from investing in CRE?
Is it even possible to be a DN and invest in CRE? Anyone?

I have been DNing for years and many sorts of ways are possible. I have been working in CRE remotely for three years, why not invest?\n\nOf course, this is a whole lot easier if you are an accredited investor. If you are there are many ways to diversify into CRE while living in Danang or Chang Mai (or whatever groovy place you do the classic laptop photo with). \n\nFundrise (REITS, accepts non-credit), Crowdstreet (credit only, higher returns proabable), Diversy Fund (REITS, accepts non-credit investors), etc etc\n\nAlso, the tokenization of CRE is quickly becoming a thing, but for the most part it is still restricted to credit investors. \n\nI would say the above platforms are probably the easiest ways for DNs to get exposure to the asset class. Otherwise you could actively get involved in local deals as a GP or LP but I would caution against that if it is not in the country of your passport unless you are proficient in the language and understand the legal environment around FDI in property markets. \n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nKinda funny how many CRE folks have no idea what you are talking about.", "replies": [{"id": "ght1f0i", "text": "I forgot about [https://www.realtymogul.com/](https://www.realtymogul.com/)", "replies": [], "depth": 2}, {"id": "ght7m5y", "text": "so do you individual in any CRE or invest in the syndicate?
