To your point around T-bills, I'm not close to an expert around any of this, but that vehicle ties up the investment until maturity correct?

The average turnkey rental make about $300/month.From what you said, using real estate as a side vehicle with your good salary and earnings is a good start, as well as investing in core things like index funds.

@Mark HafnerI've been investing internationally for many years but it's very difficult to answer the kind of questions you ask without writing a dissertation so I'd encourage you to ask more precise questions in the forum.

I do agree with you, when your margin of error is higher you don't have to be as precise which ultimately leads to waste in profits and prolongs your abilities to reach your goal if you are not disciplined.

Some tenants even sort based on sub-structure so just making sure all of the details are as precise as possible. 

Regardless if it was for tall grass, unlicensed vehicles, leaving the trash out too long, malicious animals, failure to keep snow removed from path to mailbox etc. 

You’re pulling money from a long-term compounding vehicle to fund a potentially higher-risk asset.

In a rapidly-rising interest rate environment (such as we've recently experienced) that tradeoff may or may not pay off.Unfortunately, in CRE finance there is no perfect financing vehicle and you can't eliminate risk--you must choose which risk you want.

Our model builds on this principle by creating a long-term vehicle that avoids rapid turnover and speculative price inflation.2.

We don't love the piling on of renters, and yet ... we love our neighborhood in Colorado Springs precisely because everyone's been there for years and knows each other, and there is a sense of community.
