Reason I ask is when you look at the actual final rate its almost not worth doing the 2-1 or 3-1 buydown since the rate is higher than taking a normal rate. 

how many normal people work there?

That's a normal process, Diclia.

He rents from his former neighbor for 500 a month and still works hard everyday but imagine waking up and seeing the house you worked to build for 24 years just being inhabited by a family that isn't yours.

The wake up call was two colleagues dying and they didn't even get to enjoy retirement after working for 30+ years. 

I am only doing so because during my normal screening I found these red flags. 

The polarized extremist nut jobs on BOTH sides seem to have taken the steering wheel and one is yelling to drive us off a cliff the other yelling to drive straight into it and us sane people are just in the fetal position rocking back and fourth trying to wake up from this damn nightmare that the crazies have broke out the nut-barn and took over......Careful the BP gods will remove your post.  

I often wonder if the remote location (20 minutes up the mountain) is a turnoff and travelers are starting to prefer motel-like accommodations that are close to the main highways.Houses in the middle of the woods with no view, houses that are non-cabin style like they belong in a normal major city suburb, no game room, no deck to take in the view, no hot tub, no area for a fire pit, no room for extra activities like corn hole or throwing the football, poor driveway, steep entrance, tons of stairs etc.

The book was released in 2018, pre-covid, and I wonder if the RE market has just changed this much or if Michael is just really focused on finding the 1 out of 100 deal that has the high cap rate and is a viable deal.Ideally I'd like to find a community/mentor that can give me some input on the realities and possibilities of the deals in today's market and normalize some of the viewpoints that Michael states in his book. 

I have even seen twice city inspectors walk buildings for other issues that have illegal basement units and as long as unit looks like a legal unit (normal ceiling height and two egresses) they didn't even say anything.
