Heavy on the design and how each place goes into great detail.Pretty cool stuff. 

As a Banker I have watched the housing market cool off Nationwide and rates come down.

For the most part, this will only keep the bedroom cool but it is better than nothing. 90% of the time the tenants are very appreciative. 

I cooled off (they cannot post or interact on the forums) one of these folks last week for 30 days, and I believe that Noah and Mindy have given feedback.

I’m doing one now where cash flow supports 80% and a 20% seller carry and my bank is cool with it (but that’s not the norm!)

The retirement/financial independence equation he uses is a paid off primary home, 500k in liquid assets (usually retirement, cash, and after tax brokerage account), and more than 1 source of income (part time job, real estate, social security for those of that age, dividends, etc.).

You'll want a great Realtor, contractor, and Property Manager.2) Ensure you have enough liquidity. 

Most lenders will want to see your track record, net worth, creditworthiness, and liquidity to qualify you.

So most likely you'd have to come out of pocket or find a partner that wants in on the deal to provide the liquidity.
