    @Andres Bernal

    Pros for Me...

    1. Live for free and make some money

    2. Low Down Payment/ Low interest rate

    3. Learn income property investing

    4. Ever since my first property I have screened tenants as if i was going to share a wall with them. 

    Cons...

    1. Can feel more like a Hobby and not a buzness (can get you in bad habits early on) 

    2. Harder to avoid tenant drama 

    3.
