However, I think some upcoming life changes may be the right opportunity for me to dip my toes in the water in real estate investing.I live in Pflugerville, TX (25 minutes from downtown Austin) and will soon be moving to Portland, OR, for my dream job.

All that being said I don't know about if a salt hot tub is better per se, I know it's better for your skin and I'd say perhaps if you're in a very health conscious area like Joshua Tree, some folks might be attracted to the idea of a salt water hot tub.

Would love to see an example of some real life qualifying activities and what you're including.

She’s the love of my life and we have a baby girl due April 29th- I was scared to go to my first real estate investment meetup.

For family life, there are great communities with good schools and a lot of kid-friendly activities.

Find one that fits with your life and how much effort/capital you have.

It feels like everything in life now has a 2-3% admin fee lol. 

However, if it is an STR, the depreciable life would be 39 years.

It depends where you are on your wealth and life ladder.

If I live a busy life and don't have the time or care to invest on my own, but want to put, lets say $200k to work, is a 15% cash flow return reasonable?
