My main goal is to successfully house hack and start building long-term wealth through real estate.How I Got Interested in Real Estate InvestingI got interested in real estate after learning about house hacking and seeing how it can be a smart way to build financial freedom.

Quote from @Bryan Hartlen: @Jamie Parker are you having trouble getting properties under contract OR assigning the contracts to flippers?  

If so, consider adjusting your rent or offering incentives like flexible lease terms.

As we all know, the standard way BP says to calculate cash flow actually leads investors away form long-term opportunity and leaves a lot of investors on the sidelines because they don't understand IRR and the multi layered dynamics of investing long-term.  

I think 1) 10 years that includes recovery from GFC and the Covid pandemic is not a long enough duration2) I think for those 10 years, 100% is not that special3) I think many Midwest markets did not experience the appreciation you depict.There are Midwest markets that have pretty good long term appreciation but there are also many Midwest markets that have appreciation that has not historically kept up with inflation.  

My plan is to set up a syndication fund with Canadian (and U.S) investors to purchase short-term rental properties in the Puerto Vallarta and Rivera Nayarit area (which is booming).

I'm still new to real estate investing but I'm open to feedback  @Jade FrankIt really depends on your long-term goals.

Quote from @Nate Marshall: Quote from @Robert Short: This is my concern as well.

Hmm, the title company said they couldn't determine the amount, only that there was an agreement to the terms of another agreement... like a notice for hoa responsibility tells you they're responsible but not how much is owed.

Don't be discouraged by the lower returns—house hacking is often about long-term wealth-building, and your primary residence can offset some of those mediocre numbers.Make sure you're accounting for local trends and realistic rents—sometimes expected rent growth is overly optimistic, or costs like repairs might be underestimated.
