And consider me shocked!

My past self would have been shocked, but I understand the value of time and money better now and I know that those funds will serve me better in real estate than in my pension.

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!

We've had guests do exactly that.We do not advertise any of these supplies until our check-in instructions welcome them to use the pantry, and let this be a pleasant surprise to people when they arrive.In theory a guest could clear us out but nobody ever has. 

So in reality you are ALWAYS gambling in the stock market, yes, even with those big names that seem inconceivable to every drop and ESPECIALLY with those because most are so shocked and in disbelief when it occurs that it's only realized after your left with pennies on the dollar because you waited out a recovery that was never coming. 3rd: MATH and leverage.     

But I'd be shocked if people are getting significantly better numbers in similar "regional destination" type areas. 

It shocks me sometimes how unorganized some outfits are.We do lots of referral business with a private lender who gives FNs a 70% cashout on properties worth 178.500+. 

but, it's not going to be "profitable" for several years, depending on how you define profit.you'll have a down payment, then closing costs - which new investors always seem to be shocked by - then potentially some costs to get a property rent ready, then you'll pay a month's rent to get it listed and rented out, then you'll likely have some repairs after the tenant moves in.  

If you do rent to this person, don't act shocked when they fall behind or don't pay at all.
