Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Of your choices, #3 makes the most sense, but it doesn't have to be a house hack.

Quote from @Cameron Green: As a realtor and investor in Cleveland with a mid-term rental (MTR), I’ve gained some key insights from managing my own MTR, and I’d be happy to share my thoughts.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: There is no formula for what you want.

Alliant immediately approved me for a much larger loan than the previous lender... fingers crossed I don't run into the same issue with regards to a last minute request from underwriting to have an in-person appraisal that results in a lowball valuation.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @Fausto P.: Hey Jonathan thank you so much for the response.

I would prefer some green areas (but should be closer to beach) so that it still is attracted to STR. 

Now, I’m eager to dive into real estate investing, specifically in single-family homes and multi-unit properties like duplexes.So far, I’ve read The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner, and I’ve just started BRRRR by David Greene.

She was planning a cross-country move to be with her family in Las Vegas, but the process was daunting.

But most of the investors from Cali that invest here out of state end up putting down say 30% to get in the green and every now and then a duplex pops up that makes sense with 20% down and some reno work.

If you’re looking to build REAL wealth, then leverage of one type or another is necessary.Debt is one type of leverageSyndicators leverage investors capital as equityStart up companies leverage Venture Capitalists investments in both equity and debt.The real estate investor has 3 distinct “cycles” with debt leverage1st stage is debt secured by real estate but also personally guaranteed and often cross collaterialized2nd stage is debt secured by real estate but liability not personally guaranteed and recourse limited to specific property.3rd stage is debt free If you own units in a syndicated real property investment and the investment is leverage by debt you may not think of it as YOUR debt because you’re a passive investor, but your investment is encumbered by debt the same as property you own individually IF you haven’t personally guaranteed the debt.
