@Khaled Seirafi I've invested in several things in real estate: residential, commercial, small multifamily, mobile home parks, short term rentals, co-living (rent by the room) and I just bought an assisted-living facility.

There are exceptions, like what was mentioned by @Nathan Gesner, if you are an employee of the property owners, and you exclusively manage their properties, if you're a resident manager, living in the building that is being managed, or if you are someone who manages properties owned by a single entity and have a direct ownership interest in it.

I would like to get the names of non-profits in MD that run sober-living homes.

We agents why they are getting their license NINTEY PERCENT of them are going to say to sell homes and make a living on commission!

I lived in Cleveland for multiple months and have some great connections to help you get started investing in Cleveland.

Quote from @Marc Zak: In the market where I live (San Diego), appreciation has been strong and many predict it will continue to appreciate in the long term.However, with current interest rates (6% at best) and property tax (2%), the annual cost burden is 8%.Am I correct in saying that appreciation has to be above 8% annually (plus whatever my maintenance and vacancy costs are) for me to make any money in this scenario if the property is cash flow neutral?

Lower land and building costs mean higher returns on investment, and there’s a quiet but consistent need for quality housing as remote work and cost-of-living shifts draw people away from cities.

If you use the extra $100k of cash you receive to just...live on, buy a jetski, take a trip to Disney, (any personal use) the interest for that portion of the loan will not be deductible. 

100% nightmare tenant that will likely get surprise roommates and a zoo of unauthorized pets while they live there and then claim "oh I didn't know that was against the rules".
