@Jay Hinrichs @Jonathan Greene @Nicholas L.you have all helped me to really consider what type of challenge / path I want to get into, and all this information is excellent.

Challenges?

Plus, investing in new construction has meant fewer headaches and better cash flow for us over time.Real estate isn’t without its challenges, but it’s hands-down the best way we’ve found to build long-term wealth.

With @Michael Baum on this.Another angle of thought - who would have a better chance of success challenging Airbnb TOS:1) A "brand" with 5 units2) A brand with 500 units?

Happy to be a resource as I know all of this is challenging.

. $7k sounds more reasonable but I think setting 5 to 10 years for you and your sister to reach Financial Independence and quit W2 job (assuming you also have W2 job unless you own a business or are a real estate agent) is really challenging.

I manage my own properties as do my clients; with the electronic resources for screening, rent collection, more - the ROI is greatly improved and you retain control of the property.Hope this helps.

Don’t forget heloc, DSCR, 2nd on primary, borrow from retirement accounts, credit card cash advance, property reserves, home improvement store credit, etc etc.

Challenges?
